English please edit
Can somebody who has access to the sources and a command of English grammar clean this article up please? I can take a stab at it, but I fear drifting off the sources third hand. Hcobb (talk) 15:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Two different values of draft? edit
In the infobox, two different values are given for draft/draught (these two words mean the same thing, it's just a difference between American and British English). This should not be the case, however I do not possess a copy of "Jane's Fighting Ships 2002–2003" and I could not find any online source that might resolve this ambiguity.

- Two values are actually appropiate for this class - one when the ship is hull borne and one when its on foils.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:59, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- I have not found an online source stating that the Hayabusa-class is a hydrofoil. If it is a hydrofoil and two values of draught are given, then there should be a clear distinction between its draught with foils extended and its draught without foils. What is written in the article right now appears like two values of the same thing. TheDestroyer111 (talk) 08:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- That'll teach me to actually read the article properly before commenting! You are, of course, correct, the Hayabusa's are not hydrofoils - (although the article lede could be clearer) - according to Jane's 2002–2003 draught/draft is 4.2 m, although the Japanese language wiki article has a draught of 1.7 m and a Depth of 4.2 m - draught and moulded depth are entirely different.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:15, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Given the length and width, combined with ist weight, this ship's draft is not more than 2 m. So, in all probability, 1,7 m is correct and 4.2 m could be the "height" of the hull. 46.114.6.51 (talk) 15:04, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
