Talk:Naval history of China

message: I just added a new Notes and References section, due to someone putting a June fact check on the Song Dynasty navy being a permanent standing navy in 1132 AD. I was sort of puzzled by this, because the Song Dynasty article already states this with citation, I guess they didn't click the link and read that. In any case, I bothered adding the new sections for the single citation. If anyone wants me to improve this article, please ask, but I am more content with the nautics info I have posted about China in the Technology of the Song Dynasty article.--PericlesofAthens 16:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added the entire new History and Literature sections. Hope you enjoy the additional information, which represents about half the article now. Lol.--PericlesofAthens 16:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Not to minimize John Needham's great work, but this article seems overly dependent on a single source.  Out of 18 citations, 16 of them cite the same source.  Surely some other sources must also confirm these statements?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 21:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Why doesn't the story mention the deliberate destruction of the Chinese navy (mostly by burning the ships) before 1525? Related to the failed attempts to invade Japan, as I recall. The intro of the Article starts by acknowledging it's a long history, but the body says "Not so much." Shanen (talk) 19:03, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
