Tapper-class patrol boat → Tapper-class patrol craft – The Swedish navy does not use the term Patrullbåt for theses vessels. These are smaller, slower and lighter armed. --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 03:39, 21 September 2013 (UTC) Esquilo (talk) 07:49, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
- Comment these are boats though, they're not hovercraft or ekranoplans or submarines. A RHIB is a boat, as is a rowboat, and these Tappers are larger than the US Army's brown water navy patrol boats (swift boats) from Vietnam. A redirect from the suggested title should be created. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 05:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose "craft" muddies the waters as to what kind of craft these are, as they could be blimps or patrol helicopters. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 05:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose per IP. Per WP:UE, we're not bound to Swedish-language usage. Absent evidence that these are more commonly referred to as "patrol craft" in English, there's no reason to—ahem—muddy the waters. --BDD (talk) 21:01, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Language used in the article edit
What is the reason that the 2014 invasion of Ukraine which ended in the annexation of the Donbass and the Crimea, is eufemistically called an 'intervention'? JohBeers (talk) 18:25, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
