Naming?[edit]

Would it not be better to move this article to something like Lauenburg (German weather ship)? That would fit better with other naming conventions, no? I just followed this link from the mainpage without much experience in the matter, so look forward to hearing why I'm wrong.--Eva ^bd 20:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ships can be a little different, see German battlecruiser Scharnhorst, German battlecruiser Gneisenau. German cruiser Prinz Eugen, etc. Benea 20:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it's a WikiProject guideline for ships. Personally, I think it's an suboptimal naming convention. It's OK for ships with a prefix like HMS or USS, but to have to wade through three long words "German weather ship" etc before you get to the actual important bit ("Lauenburg") makes it more unwieldy than the more usual Wikipedia convention of brackets at the end (Lauenburg (German weather ship), as Evadb points out). — Matt Crypto 17:44, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
