Same wikilink for Standard displacement and Full load
[edit]In the Description and construction section both "standard displacement" and "full load" link to Displacement_(ship)#Standard_displacement. I don't personally know enough about ships to know if this is correct but I would have presumed "full load" should instead be linking to Displacement_(ship)#Loaded_displacement.
Would appreciate if someone more knowledgeable than myself could weight in on this, thanks. – Mesidast (talk) 11:10, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Near miss explanation
[edit]Can someone explain/clarify how something gets damaged by a near miss? A near miss is just that, a MISS!! So if the attack misses, how does this ship sustain damage? AA Pilot16 (talk) 07:19, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- G’day. When a bomb explodes in the water near a ship, the shockwaves can cause damage to the hull and external parts of the propulsion gear. As distinct from a bomb that actually hits the ship. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Gender of ship
[edit]I am aware that ships are often referred to as she/her, but am wondering whether it is too colloquial for Wikipedia. Would an encyclopædic tone refer to a ship as it instead or am I overthinking? Stenkos (talk) 22:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Stenkos: I personally find it weird to call ships she — another editor wrote WP:Queen Elizabeth slipped majestically into the water to mock this very thing — but MOS:S/HE says either is fine as long as it is consistent within the article. Heavy Water (talk • contribs) 22:43, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- It is quite standard in reliable sources. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:32, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Beograd is a noun of masculine gender in its native language (as is razarač 'destroyer' and brod 'ship'). Not suggesting anything, just remarking. –Vipz (talk) 18:58, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
