message: These two battleships were damaged in battles around the Solomons Island in 1942 and then either sunk or scuttled (in situations like that of the Lutzow, which appears on the list).  Should they be added?  There are wiki articles on both.Gaintes (talk) 23:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Great list, but one question. Why the distinction between sunk in combat and sunk by mines and torpedoes.  Some ships (Irresistible) in the combat section were sunk by mines.  Is it an "in action" distinction?Gaintes (talk) 21:42, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: We need more pictures!  As there are separate articles about many of these ships, I would recommend that we only include here pictures related to the sinking or to exploration or conservation of the wrecks.  We need to find available pictures and properly import them into Wiki Commons for us to use.
Much of the information in this article should be a subset of information in the articles about the individual warships.
The following ships did not have any individual articles, or had only the slimmest of stubs.  You are particularly invited to research the following ships and build or improve their specific articles:
* SMS Thüringen
* SMS Helgoland
* SMS Oldenburg
* SMS Prinz Eugen
* SMS Viribus Unitis  (Extensive information available on alternate language Wikipedia)
* SMS Kronprinz Wilhelm
* SMS Schlesien
* Navarin, (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905)
* Russian battleship Petropavlovsk (1897), Petropavlovsk class battleship, (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905)
* Petropavlovsk of WWII
* Sissoi Veliky (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905)
* Oslyabya (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905)
* Imperator Aleksander III, Borodino class battleship, (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905)
* Gangut
* Russian Battleship Sevastopol (1895) Petropavlovsk class battleship, (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905)
* Rostislav
* Iki  - Previously Imperator Nikolai I
* HMS Centurion
* HMS Ocean
* HMS King Edward VII
* HMS Russell
* HMS Empress of India
* HMS Cornwallis
* HMS Montagu
* HMS Vanguard
* HMS Britannia
* HMS Prince George
* HMS Monarch
* Masséna
* Suffren
* Gaulois
* Danton
* French battleship Jean Bart (1911)
* France
* Courbet
* Alfonso XIII
* España
There are some unresolved questions about some ships that aren't quickly answered by Internet search.  If you have the ability to provide more thorough and reliable research into the following questions, it would be appreciated.
* USS Texas (1892):  Scrapped or still sunk?  There is no quickly available history of this ship being raised and scrapped.  However, the location of sinking and available photos suggests partial or complete scrapping likely.
* Slava:  Scrapped or still sunk?  There is no quickly available history of this ship being raised and scrapped.  However, the location of sinking makes partial or complete scrapping likely.
* Heireddin Barbarossa:  Scrapped or still sunk?  There is no quickly available history of this ship being raised and scrapped.  However, the location of sinking makes partial or complete scrapping likely.
* SMS Thüringen: Scrapped or scuttled?  There are articles and photographs on the Internet indicating that significant wreckage still exists in place.
Can anybody populate a naval flag template for the Regia Marina?  I can't figure out how to get this template populated.  There is an article on the Regia Marina, and there is a template for the country called Kingom of Italy.  There is a flag for the Regia Marina.  How do we get all these linked using a navy template?

thread_title:  Invitation to Contributors 

message: Its a list, many of the ship sections have unneccesary info. The articles go into detail about the battleship. Only the date, where it was sunk, the condition, the navy and how the battleship was sunk should be included in each entry. Some of the info is not even interesting or relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.119.63 (talk) 11:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Keep it Simple 

message: Dates need to be added to the table so that it can be sorted chronologically - who wants an alphabetic list? *odd*  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.20.33.152 (talk) 04:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add dates to table 

message: What is the cut off point for including ships in this list? For example, HMS Captain (1869), which was an experimental turret ironclad and sank in a storm with almost all the crew shortly after launch. The linked wiki defining article for battleship says the term began to be used for capital ships in 1794. Sandpiper (talk) 18:11, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cut off point for inclusion in this list? 

message: would be my suggestion for a category that includes USSs Nevada, West Virginia, and California. CorvetteZ51 (talk) 09:42, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
