[edit] Article name

Why is this article not just titled Schleswig-Holstein? Remy B 11:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, now I see. Why not Schleswig-Holstein (battleship) or Schleswig-Holstein (German battleship) then? Remy B 11:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

It would be best titled SMS Schleswig-Holstein, like her sisters SMS Pommern and SMS Hannover are. I suppose the argument for keeping the article as it's titled now is that the Schleswig-Holstein (as well as her sister Schlesien) also served in the Kriegsmarine, so they did not have the SMS prefix (DKM, contrary to popular opinion, was never used), so it isn't entirely correct to name the article SMS Schleswig-Holstein.
