[edit] Minor edit

Changed the name of one of the combatants to Germany. "Nazi Germany" never existed as an official name. --Vosselmans 10:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classification

Scharnhorst seems to listed under 'Light Battleship'. Shouldn't that be 'Battlecruiser', to be more accurate? Darkmind1970 12:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a real can of worms! British convention is to call Gneisenau and Scharnhorst (G&S) "battlecruisers". German practice is to call them "sclachtschiff", which translates to battleship. There was a long debate about this and I recall that the consensus/ truce was to use the term battlecruiser and refer to the German usage when appropriate. Please advise if you intend to reopen this debate, so I can retire to a safe distance and cover my head. Folks at 137 15:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
