[edit] Fleet Review
initiating the 1889 British Fleet Review as a 'show of strength', to which Tirpitz and the Kaiser were invited.
1889 sounds very unlikely. Tirpitz wasn't even Admiral at that time. 1899 would fit far better. Any sources on that? Nevfennas 06:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] His title?
The "von" in his name usually indicates some title of nobility, at least ritter or freiherr. Something... Could someone find out, please, and add it? -Alex, 12.220.157.93 07:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC).
- What are you asking? Yes, he was often valled "von Tirpitz" and the battleship I believe was called von Tirpitz. You had that right, so what do you mean? If you're asking if that's what his title was then absolutely. He was very famous, I'm sure. Aaрон Кинни (t) 05:02, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

- He's referring to the titles that are often associated with the von, like Franz von Hipper whose full title was actually Franz Ritter von Hipper after being knighted in 1916 (Ritter is german for Knight). Concerning Tirpitz: he was a non-noble until he was ennobled in 1900, no knowledge about an associated title Nevfennas 19:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
