[edit] Croatian sailors

Hi there....

There is one big mistake in this article...marines on Austrian ships where mainly Croats, and not venetian sailors...out of 7,871 sailors on Austrian ships around 5,000 were Croats. They were mostly sailors, fishermen, people used to life near the sea and on ships. 89.172.7.80 19:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)s

Hello Folks. Thanks for cleaning it up. Was my stub any good? --rasmusdf 16:40, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Sure it was! I find it useful to start with a short article, gives a chance to view it in context (links to and from), before deciding how to expand. Stan 17:25, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Some time later (1.5 years or so). Vauw, my original short stub has expanded into a really impressive article. Congratulations to all contributors - Great Job! rasmusdf 17:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

No dramas I enjoyed writing it.

[edit] Tegetthoff

"Tegetthoff returned home a hero, was promoted Vice Admiral, and is considered one of the greatest naval commanders in history." By whom? I ((fact)) tagged this, cite needed. If it said "in Austrian history" that would be another matter. But in world naval history? Herostratus 08:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Affondatore: Winnebago at Sea

I no longer have the source alleging frightful handling characteristics to the Italian turret ship. Should I remove comment?

Out of interest, the fire on the Palestro, according to William McElwee's "The Art of War: Waterloo to Mons", was started by a shell hitting the paint locker. The article seems to give the impression it was a result of "Ferdinand Max's" sideswipe.
