Merger[edit]

Comment - I'm not opposed to a merger, though the question would have to be which to merge into? French ship Berwick, for her role in Trafalgar, or HMS Berwick for being a British ship in the first place, and for fighting in two battles for the RN? She certainly spent most of her existence under the white ensign. Of course, both articles at the moment are of reasonable length, so is there anything to be gained by merging?

I think that it is less confusing to have one article for one ship. The gain is mostly in having all relevant information on one page, minimise surprise, and do like on other articles.
I do not have any strong preference for which article to merge into, though I would tend to favour "HMS Berwick": construction and longer career in the Royal Navy would cut it for me.

Well it doesn't look like there's any opposition :) Martoctis (talk) 18:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I shall carry out a merger in the next few days. Martocticvs (talk) 11:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support merge - I support the merge but hope this will be merged into HMS Berwick as she spent most of her time in the Royal Navy. BritishWatcher (talk) 03:43, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that's my intention - I may do it this afternoon as I think this has had quite long enough now for people to raise objections. Martocticvs (talk) 11:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
