Alsace class battleship

I globally agree with your edit. The sketches of Alsace class battleships are interesting, but I dont know from which data they are drawn. They are not based on Robert Dumas 's book, « Le cuirassé Jean Bart 1939-1970 », perhaps from « French Battleships 1922-1956 », by Josh Jordan and Robert Dumas ? I regret that there is no sketch of the layout of the project reported to have been chosen by the French Admiralty, with three triple turrets, and all the secondary 152 mm artillery in axial position.

I understand your edit on my remark about the interest of designing such battleships in the early 1940s. Nevertheless, it seems evident to me that the building of Vanguard is hardly understandable, even as her main guns were already avalailable. The good decision was the American one to cancel the Montana class battleships, which would have been contemporaries of the Alsace class battleships, in favor of more urgently needed aircraft carriers. But the decision, in 1945, to complete Jean Bart as a integral battleship is leading to think that « despite the war learnings, the outdated myth of big gun goes on dominating our (French) naval doctrine...» as wrote then a French admiral.

Same thing concerning your remark about the French specifity to prefer more lesser guns than few bigger ones. When the British designers prefer eight 15-in guns,on Queen Elizabeth class battleships, or the American, a few years later, twelve 14-in. guns on Tenessee, the French designers intended to fit sixteen 13.5-in guns on Lyon class battleships. We find the same thing, twenty five years later, with three quadruple 15-in. turrets, for the largest Alsace project, as, on a hull of same dimensions, the Iowa is intented to be fitted with three triple 16-in. turrets.Paul-Pierre Valli (talk) 13:11, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Alsace class battleship (continuation)

I completely agree with your remark, in your reply, about the staffing of admiralties by aged admirals unable to conceive of naval warfare without battleships. In Robert Dumas's book, it can be read that, when the completion of Jean Bart was discussed, in september 1945, in a meeting of the French Navy Higher Council, the dissenting opinions about the completion as an integral battleship were those of three admirals, first, Admiral Fenard, formerly Chief of the French Naval Mission in the United States, who tried vainly, in 1943, to persuade Admiral King to complete the Jean Bart as an hybrid battleship-aircraft carrier (but Admiral King had his own good reasons), second, Admiral Nomy, who will be later Chef d'État-Major Général de la Marine in the 1950s, and had been a Naval Aviation Pilot, and third, Rear Admiral Barjot, who was only 46 years old, and wrote in the minutes of the meeting : « ...Despite the war learnings, the outdated myth of big gun goes on dominating our naval doctrine...It was surprising enough to see in 1945 the Navy General Staff supporting , doctrinally, against the aircraft carrier solution, the battleship solution. »

I forget Erin and Agincourt, but they were not have been designed by the Director of Naval Construction... But I surprisingly read recently that it was projected for the penultimate layout of the North Carolina class battleships, three 14-in. quadruple turrets.

About Admiral Darlan's ideas, we have seen that he has been able to abandon the all forward layout, but I dont know if there are some precise data about the Admiralty choice between the triple or quadruple turrets Alsace types. I think that the drawbacks of the quadruple turret are only acceptable in an all forward layout. And then, the Gascogne choice could have been linked to the delay to perfect drawings for a new triple turret ? But, all this is highly hypothetical...Paul-Pierre Valli (talk) 00:37, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Aircraft names

The proper names for the Boeing 747 and Airbus A330 are Boeing B-747 and Airbus A-330. The manufaturer's initial must be stated in the aircraft name and must be seperated from the number like McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the Edgley EA-7 Optica.

--202.95.200.12 02:40, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

You are incorrect. The Airbus fleet does not refer to its plane as "A-" anything. Visit their website. Neither does Boeing. McDonnell Douglas has always hyphenated its planes (and Lockheed did with the L-1011), but that does not make this an industry standard. Boeing documents don't refer to the planes as Boeing 7X7; read this [1] if you don't believe me. Also, read this page. Where is your source for the statement that a manufacturer's initial MUST be stated in the aircraft name, and then hyphenated with model numbers? We use the terminology that is applied by the manufacturer. What does Boeing call its jumbo jet? The Boeing 747. When they commissioned the 777, they had the plane flying around in Boeing livery, and it said Boeing 777, not Boeing B-777. What does Airbus call its monster? The Airbus A380 [2]. What did Douglas call its city-hopper? The DC-9. We use those names because the manufacturers do. Do not revert edits that conform to standard practice in this fashion, unless you can PROVE that you are correct with verifiable sources. Sacxpert 02:54, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

How come Boeing mentions "B-" in planes like the B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-50-D Superfortress? 202.95.200.12 10:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Because those are military aircraft! The B- prefix means bomber. Boeing built the B-52 Stratofortress, a bomber. Convair built the B-60, also a bomber. North American built the XB-70, an experimental bomber. When Boeing designed fighter aircraft, they were labelled P-, because P stood for "pursuit" aircraft in the pre-63 designation system. The Boeing-built fuel tanker version of the 707 airliner was called the KC-135, and then there were planes like the C-18 Monomail. There was even a transport version of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, and that was called the C-108 Flying Fortress. The Navy used a different system until '63, whereby the manufacturer's code was part of the designation: F4F meant the fourth fighter design by Grumman, F4U meant the fourth fighter designed by Vought, and F4B meant the same for Boeing. But in that system, which only the Navy used only for a time, the manufacturer's name was added at the end, and not hyphenated. The military assigns its own numbers and labels to aircraft based on their use parameters; Boeing had nothing to do with it. Army Air Force/Air Force numbers (until very recently) were all sequential -- Boeing had an internal project number sometimes. For any military aircraft, new-built or converted from civilian, the Air Force assigned a type (P- or F- for fighter, B- for bomber, C- for cargo/transport, H- for chopper, A- for attack, etc.), and then assigned the next unused number. So, B-17 just means "17th bomber design for the US Air Force." After the '60s, these number counts were reset, so that the B-1 Lancer bomber, designed by Rockwell, was the first bomber of the new series, but it didn't matter who built it; Northrup-Grumman designed the stealth bomber, and that's called B-2. You can read more about this here.[3] But this was not applied to civilian aircraft in the United States, nor was it an international standard for aircraft, US or otherwise.

Boeing adopted the "7x7" naming system for its planes on its own; it could have called them anything it wanted. They add a dash to describe most variants: 747-100, 737-800, and the like, but there's no hyphen for lettered sub-versions: 747-236B or 777-200ER, for example. Likewise, Airbus chose the "A3xx" system for its planes; to draw attention to the Airbus name, they added the "A" to the number, but again, that was an internal choice, and they did not hyphenate it. Some people do refer to Boeings 747s as B-747, but that's only a shorthand for "Boeing 747", and the manufacturer doesn't use it. The military system is completely distinct from this. Visit Boeing.com and Airbus.com, and see what terms they use to describe their aeroplanes. Now that you know this, please stop reverting edits, unless you can provide some authentic sources from Boeing or Airbus to prove that they actually refer to their planes as "B-" or "A-", respectively. Thank you. Sacxpert 18:25, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

V12 Road Cars

You were wrong. Any Benz with the suffix '63 AMG' uses the M156, which is a 6.2L DOHC V8. Look it up. Space Turbo (talk) 06:54, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay, maybe I was wrong. Perhaps you should write an article about this mystery engine, as Wikipedia does not seem to have one. Space Turbo (talk) 01:43, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you should dig a little deeper on that. I'll keep my eyes peeled and help out here as much as I can, but the Mercedes-Benz articles on Wikipedia are such bags of hammers that I honestly don't know where to begin fixing them :( Space Turbo (talk) 03:52, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi all. I added back the Ferrari 365/512/512i cars because they are 180 deg V12s; still V12. The first para says V12s do not have to be 60 deg, and the second para actually says they can be 60 or 180 deg. Over on the Boxer pages, they say the cars are 180 deg V12s. I think the spirit of the V12 design is 2 opposing banks of 6 cylinders apiece. Buzzm (talk) 04:06, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Got your message on my User talk; apols if I don't know the protocol. No one has messaged me on User talk before so I don't if I'm responding in the right place. WRT to flat vs. V, I understand the subtlety here and yes, we all call them flat-12s. I am OK with going for the convention definition of V12 actually being a V, but then we should probably fix up the main page to avoid specifically citing the 180 deg V engine as a V. Consistency here is vital, and if you are actively managing these pages then by all means keep it crisp and delete the 365/512/512i from the list. Buzzm (talk) 23:02, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Works for me. Changing the lead sets the context properly for V vs. non-V. I am good with that. The technical definition of a thing often differs from the public definition of a thing; sort of an interface/implementation issue. No problems. Buzzm (talk) 01:37, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

These are all interesting examples (emphasis on the word 'examples'). At this point the article is not 150k, why delete some interesting information about the engines which gives a feel for how they have developed? Surely we can worry about the article getting too big at a later stage. Moreover, these were some of the most crucial developments in the V12 for cars. Please consider this and undo your delete.

December 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nuremberg trials. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. (t · c) buidhe 19:51, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
