Talk:List of navies

message: Instantnood has put "Hong Kong (People's Republic of China)" into the list.  Later in the list, is "Republic of China (Taiwan)".  Generally, parentheses around the name on these lists provides readers with a more common name.  People's Republic of China is not the more common name for Hong Kong.  Taiwan is not the parent country of the Republic of China.  This formatting needs to be corrected.  Hong Kong, China probably works fine.
I don't even see why Hong Kong has a place on this list - it doesn't have a navy.  It's just another part of China and protected by the same navy as the rest of China (which the list says). SchmuckyTheCat 01:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The round brackets denote which are the corresponding sovereign states for those that are not sovereign states. For the case of the Republic of China, Taiwan, with no wikilink, is included in round brackets, since that's what the ROC is commonly known as. — Instantnood 21:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it doesn't denote anything, unless they can read your mind. They've been removed from every other article where you've put them.  So stop. SchmuckyTheCat 05:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They're removed only by the few people who keep tracking my edits. And as far as I know, they're not removed from every single article. — Instantnood 10:03, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It would be extrememly useful if this page also listed the size of the world's navies... by total number of ships at least.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.245.91.170 (talk) 03:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Remember, be bold! If you think it's such a good idea, and you think you can do it, by all means do. If your edit adds something incomplete, someone else will complete it. Of course, this is something I've been meaning to do for a while... So I'm actually compiling information between writing here. The easy figures that would be logical to include would be size of ship fleet, (not counting boats) as well as the number of personnel. If it can be managed, battle fleet tonnage. I'm partly tempted to class by type as well (carrier, amphibious, surface, submarine, other) though that might be going too far. Nottheking (talk) 15:22, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The Canadian Navy's name should be changed to from "Canadian Maritime Command" to "Royal Canadian Navy (RCN)" in accordance with the new name adopted on 16 August 2011. Other language lists should also reflect this change.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CuriousGeorge79 (talk • contribs) 06:37, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I think Texas should be added because when it was a country it also had a navy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.225.125 (talk) 04:23, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Yes, the Soviet Union traded warships for beverages: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/soviet-union-pepsi-ships . This doesn't mean that Pepsi had a navy, as it is not a sovereign nation and as such can't have a navy (much like Disney above). Sjö (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
