What about moving the subpages to "List of NATO reporting names for X"? Jeronimo 00:22 Jul 29, 2002 (PDT)

[edit] Ships?
What about NATO reporting names for ships? I have heard, for example, that there was a class of Soviet ships called Koni by NATO, but I can't find them—or any other ships, for that matter—in this article. Could anyone clear this matter up for me, please? Maikel 15:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Past tense
'Were names used by'.. Aren't these still used for Chinese equipment? Not to mention that they're still being used to refer to Russian equipment. I'll replace it with present tense. Joffeloff 15:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Syllable Code?
I was taught that there was an additional “code” built into the code names, in that one syllable names indicated a prop driven aircraft; i.e. Bear, or Colt, and two or more syllable names indicated jet powered aircraft; Blackjack, Condor. It seems to work, but I can't find a reference. Speedbump 18:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List cleanup
I'm putting this here, rather than on each of the sublists, for simplicity's sake. The sublists contain pointless links for the nicknames. Most of these links provide no useful information about the actual item in question (the article on Kangaroo, for example, contains nothing at all about the AS-3 Kangaroo, and the latter already had a link in the list). Also, a great many of the links point to disambiguation pages, and, since they have nothing to do with what they point to, there's no way to meaningfully disambiguate. I've cleaned up List of NATO reporting names for air-to-surface missiles, List of NATO reporting names for air-to-air missiles and List of NATO reporting names for surface-to-surface missiles, but I don't really have time right now to do the others. Also, I think it might be appropriate to make the lists into tables, but I'm not familiar enough with the topic to know what appropriate column headings should be.
