Why was it called the Peking plan? 138.237.165.140 14:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd assume that as with most other military operation, codenames are chosen more or less at random.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on who's doing the naming. The Americans seem to put a lot of thought into the names of their operations. The Iraq Invasion was called Cobra II, as a homage to Cobra, the Normandy operation. Krupo 04:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hydroplanes???

[edit]

Anyone aware of the reference that says the German Navy had Hyrdoplanes? I suspect it's a translation error and they mean Sea-Planes Ralph 10 April06

My mistake, tnx for pointing it out. Fixed.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ranks

[edit]

All translation of Polish ranks are wrong. There is no such rank as Sublietenant Commander, or Counter Admiral! We have appropriate rank translations - just ask the Polish Navy. Kontradmirał to Rear Admiral. The word "counter" means - especially for Americans - the top, like Polish words "kantor" or "blat". The translation of ranks is as wrong as "thank you from the mountain". belissarius 03:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The word counter admiral is used (per the article). That said, the article needs a copyedit, certainly.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  15:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article reassessed and graded as start class. --dashiellx (talk) 20:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why Wicher and Gryf were not included?

[edit]

Why were those ships left out "for certain destruction"? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 18:57, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Self-reply: an answer is given at Talk:ORP_Gryf_(1936), but more could be said, I am sure. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 01:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
