Talk:Battleship

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I think that the Sovereign Class should be here, with an asterisk. It may not be stated as a battleship, but it is just as much one as the D'Deridex. What do other people think? --OuroborosCobra 02:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it's been tuned down since this comment. Now all that are listed are those specifically referenced as such. Though I agree, the Sovereign, Scimitar, D'deridex and Negh'Var probably qualify. --Alan del Beccio 15:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Someone take that OC kid out back and put him out of his misery. That original comment was written during the first week I was here. Hell, I'd possibly like to see this trimmed down further. Was the Jem'Hadar battle cruiser ever called a battleship, for example? If not, it probably should be listed as a battle cruiser, as in naval nomenclature they are not synonymous. Back when I first wrote this, I was fitting into the groove of how loose MA felt in some areas in terms of following canon (these pages being among the loosest), but I've changed to being a bit tighter over time. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 16:11, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, what you see is the trimmed down version, per the citations. Regarding the battle cruiser, it was originally referred to as a battleship, then it was toned back before or when the "Valiant" one came along. --Alan del Beccio 16:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I think someone needs to take me out back and let out of my misery too. I missed the citation. Sorry 'bout that. Much happiness with the trimming, Alan. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 16:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
