Class name edit

Conway's gives the name as simply "Caracciolo-class", and I believe Jane's does as well. Is the "full ship name" or the "shortened name" the more common one? - The Bushranger One ping only 19:07, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Stille's Italian Battleships of World War II, Whitley's Battleships of World War II, Garzke's & Dulin's Axis and Neural Battleships of World War II, and Jane's Jane's Battleships of the 20th Century all use the full name. Parsecboy (talk) 19:29, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
That's good enough for me. I will now go shake a stick at Conway's for being very silly! - The Bushranger One ping only 19:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

FP worthy? edit

How on earth did a skimpy 15K article get to be a FP? That's nowhere near long enough to get an adequate coverage. Another FP on Italian battleships that only had 3 ships in it is twice as long: Conte di Cavour-class battleship SMH — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.161.13.227 (talk) 01:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Nowhere at WP:FAC establishes that articles must be 50K long. (CC) Tbhotch 01:52, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
You might want to note that the class with the article "twice as long" was...um...actually built. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
