Disagree - The above was generated by Sturmvogel 66. It might be helpful to have his rationale. It certainly isn't obvious to me that this is anything but a recipe for arguments. When vessels are sold from one nation to another they get different flags, names, crews, armaments, engagement histories, and battle honours. They are, in a real sense, different ships with a common hull. Each nation is mostly interested in the ship that sailed under its flag and forms part of its national history.LeadSongDogcome howl!04:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting argument, but much space is wasted by duplicating information common to both articles. So long as there is a redirect from one to the other, all that's left are quibbles about which name the ship should be listed under. Unfortunately, I already merged them before I noticed that somebody had actually bothered to comment, unlike the three other RN/RCN destroyer articles that I'd already merged. Apologies, but I think that you'll see that no information is actually lost and much is saved by consolidating these two articles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:26, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
