Talk:Coastal defence ship

message: I see this page was moved from Pantserschip. This is not any less "bizarre" since the first title was Dutch and this one derived from German. Better title would be in English. Armoured ship (direct English translation) or Coastal defence ship (more descriptive name). In my opinion armoured is too generic since almost all naval ships have armour. I also contest the factual accuracy of this article. It omits quite a lot of information and in its current status it's basically just a selective list of ships with everyone adding their "favourite" ones. About a month ago I added the see also to Pocket battleship since those ships share some conceptual similarity. That doesn't mean these ships are battleships. If you do a google search on the Swedish ships you'll find a lot of hits calling them "coastal battleships", but that is a translation error. I find it hard to edit this article without bordering on original research. --Laisak 14:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea whatsoever about the factual content, but the German word "panzer" is pretty widely known in English, whereas the Dutch title is not. But if you want to move it back, that's okay with me. Arre 18:54, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title 

message: There was an "Operation Polarfox" (although that name also had previously been used for an operation to conquer Murmansk), which were plans for invading Sweden. I saw the plans yesterday in a book in the lockal university library, when searching for something entirely different. I can go back to the library and check the book data. The only landing sequence would have been about 100 km north of Stockholm (if I remember the map correctly), the rest of the invasion forces would have come from Norway where they would have swept through middle Sweden.

thread_title:  Unternehmen Polarfuchs 

message: The article Cerberus class battleship claims that they are battleships, while this article claims that they are coastal defence ships. This inconsistency should be solved but since I know very little about this subject I ask for some input. Jeltz talk 17:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cerberus class 

message: The Link goes to the Galleon Wasa from the 17th Century and not to the Armoured Ship built at the turn of the previous century, unfortunantley there is no article for the Ship in the english Wikipedia but there is in the Swedish version.
I don't know how to link in this regard, especially since the old Wasa is such a famed ship whule the later remains in historys obscurity.

thread_title:  HMS Wasa 

message: In the Habsburg empire (KuK fleet), everybody called these vessels "defended by coast battleships" unofficially, in a realistic assessment of their might or lack, thereof. The same was true for tsarist Russian Navy. 82.131.134.66 (talk) 21:01, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chibi panzer. 

message: This section has grown longer than the article, as lists not only the navies but also the ships. I'm redoing it in a more concise way, without losing information; will take a couple days to finish. Regards,  DPdH (talk) 00:06, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of operators 

message: The lead mentions Greece as a country which used coastal defence ships as its flagship, but Greece isn't mentioned in the operators. Are we talking about Georgios Averof here, and does anyone know enough to add a bit on the Greek navy? UndercoverClassicist (talk) 12:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea what that would be in reference to; Georgios Averof is an armored cruiser, not a coastal defense ship, and before that, it would have been one of the Hydra-class ironclads, which also weren't coastal defense ships. Parsecboy (talk) 12:42, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
