Ship

The article does not explain how the ship relates to the munition so I'm not sure why the picture is included. If you follow all the links (starting with Magnus effect) it becomes clear but we should not ask people to have to follow links to figure things out, articles should stand on their own. Suggest some revision here. ++Lar: t/c 11:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revise away. I didn't add the photo or the text about the Magnus effect. My sources were pretty sparse and said nothing about the preceding topic, so I didn't add it in. I don't think the ship photo is appropriate, but I try to avoid clashing with others so usually just let it take care of itself, feel free to remove and expand the article. :-)--IvoShandor (talk) 11:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the photo and added the link to a "see also" section. I left the text in, I'm not sure what to do with it because it's unsourced. --IvoShandor (talk) 13:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
