The other thing is that I only have the dates for laying down, completion and commissioning, so any of those are easy to input. I was leaving the "in service" bit blank for now as I'll have to research each vessel for that, although I see you've made a start. [[User:David Finn|David Finn]] 16:33, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Catalogs

I've started inputting the individual ships in the Catalog tab. I have the details from 2006 showing all (then) active vessels, but since that time there have undoubtedly been decommissions, so I aim to input (if I can find them) the details for every ship built before noting in the 'In service' column if they are still in service, decommissioned or sold. If there are any ideas for improvement or modification please let me know. I'll probably spread the work over a few days as these tables can be slightly monotonous to edit.

Catalog dates

I'm easy about the dates being there or not. Without them the table may look slightly sparse though. I really don't have a preference - less work for me if they are too much, but I don't mind putting them in if it adds anything. David Finn 16:08, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

It's an improvement. I wonder, at the level of the catalog rather than individual ship article, a single in-service date (years only) is adequate.
Part of the reason is that some vessels have other significant dates, such as conversion from the "short hull" to the "long hull". As far as I know, all unconverted short hull versions have been scrapped. Also, the USN ships have had the medium range RIM-66 Standard SM-1 and long range RIM-67 Standard SM-1 missile launchers removed, to make the declining supplies of SM-1 air defense missiles available to allies. Maybe there should be an asterisk or some other indication of original short hull, short hull conversion, or original long hull. Another item, perhaps for notes, is assignment/homeport for USN vessels and nation using (and new name) for those sold/given to allies. Howard C. Berkowitz 13:12, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
