Talk:Fusō-class battleship

thread_title: GA1

message: The the opening paragraph it is noted:
They were completed from 1915 to 1917, both in Japanese shipyards. When launched, they outclassed all battleships of both the Royal Navy and the United States Navy in terms of speed and firepower.
Yet the broadly contemporaneous Queen Elizabeth class battleships built for the Royal Navy were, at 24kt, at least one knot faster, and possessed the more powerful BL 15"/42 Mk1 gun which fired a 1920lb shell, as opposed to the Fusō's 14" (with a shell that was closer in weight and performance to the British MkV (H) 13.5" gun). The QEs were also considerably better-armoured, with a maximum thickness of 13" on the belt and turret face (against 12"), plus 10" on the barbette sides (vice 8.1"), though this detail isn't particularly relevant.
Britain at the time was Japan's naval ally and these ships were designed with the United States in mind as the potential enemy. Given the above I propose removing the "Royal Navy" from the intro. I'll let this stand for a while and see what others think before doing anything. Paddyboot (talk) 01:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pre-FAC notes 

message: What does this even mean? 
"The location of the third and fourth turrets proved particularly problematic to the design of the class because the amidships turrets were not superfiring as in the subsequent Ise-class battleships. This further increased the length of the ships because the barrels of the upper turret protruded over the lower turret, requiring more space than a pair of superfiring turrets."
"Protruded over the lower turret" sounds like it is describing a superfiring turret, but these turrets had a funnel between them. The length was increased because the higher gun DIDN'T protrude over the lower gun, which would have saved that many feet. I also echo the previous persons question as to why they bothered to raise the aft turret if it wasn't superfiring, but I suppose that is a question for another place..45Colt 12:19, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Špegelj Tapes

message: This whole article is a total nonsense, all of it fabrication and lies. Few factual events are intertwined with web of lies and innuendos. I'll delete all the nonsense in this article and when I have time I'll post accurate information with web links and accurate sources. 
BTW, I had a chance to hear whole tape, it does not mentions Albanians even once, Also on tape Minister Boljkovac is not present, Martin Spegalj at the time had no ministerial portfolio. Martin Spgalj was asked to be Minister of Defense after Croatia declared Independence in June of the same year. 
Minister Boljkovac as a matter of fact was not involved in this affair, he had nothing to do with it, Spegalj is talking to his (he thought his best friends) who were Senior JNA officers at the time, both are Croats. 
BTW on the tape Spegalj is saying, that in whole 5th Army Region JNA had 9000 Officers, 18 000 solders and there are  80 000 well armed Croatians, he is explaining how it would be easy for Croats to take JNA in Croatia with the help of Slovens in Slovenia, and that in matter of few weeks JNA would cease to exist in Croatia (also implying the same for Slovenia), how if they all organize well could gain (win) independence for Croatia and how JNA/Serbs wouldn't have it easy if both Slovenia and  Croatia agree to combine there efforts as JNA can't fight on two fronts. 
He mentioned how he already had contacts in Hungary, Germany, Austria and Czech Republic who are willing to help with the arms supplies and how all can be done swift and without JNA's knowledge. After all, his argument are, JNA is not going to arm Croatian police, so they (Croatian patriots) have to. 
Basically whole tape is about 30min long.  Mic of orion (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I've added a bunch.  I realize there may still be some discomfort with some of the refs.  In order to avoid pay-per-view archives, I've used materials that were archived on sites which at first blush might appear as primary, but in fact are merely archives of secondary sources.  I couldn't find clear guidelines on this distinction, but it's at worst a technicality as the accuracy of the archive can still be verified at cost.  The problem of course is that publishers have a vested interest in the pay-per-view model.  If we disallow the use of such freely accessible archives much content will become ephemera.LeadSongDog (talk) 20:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

As for the latter claim, it strikes me as a fact verifiable by anybody who goes to a Book Off store.
