Chung Shan v Sun Yat Sen

edit

It's not clear that the Chung Shan and the Sun Yat Sen referred to in the first paragraph were the same boat. There's also another picture of a Chinese warship identified as the Chung Shan (along with its Captain)in Wikimedia commons. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gunboat_Chung-shan_and_Sah_Shih-chun.jpgGaintes (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

There was a USS Sun Yat-sen but there are some less careful sources that inexplicably fully translate the name Zhongshan as SS Sun Yat-sen. — LlywelynII 07:25, 15 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Also a reference the Yung Feng in the memoirs of Chang's second wife: http://books.google.com/books?id=IDbvAzXCBH8C&pg=PA109&lpg=PA109&dq=yung+feng+warship&source=bl&ots=iwA-oQuLIF&sig=ZHN4ljkj62KB05pXf9HXc-dGRNo&hl=en&ei=XnAtS7_nGYz9nAeQoMX3CA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBIQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=yung%20feng%20warship&f=false Gaintes (talk) 01:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Indeed,
  • Chiang Kai-Shek's Secret Past: The Memoir of His Second Wife, Ch'en Chieh-Ju. Pps. 109-110
and
  • Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1922–1946, P.412
may both reference this ship, but they shouldn't be added to the bibliography until they're actually being used to verify the article. — LlywelynII 07:25, 15 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
