[edit] Metric vs. Standard

How about using metric system units in an article about a European ship? How about using the metric systems in all of the articles since most of the civilized world uses the metric system? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.140.191 (talk • contribs)

• I'm just following form, seeing as this is an English article, and all English-speaking countries have a basic knowlegde of Imperial measurements. You want to convert them, do it, but I'm going by the original documents. HawkerTyphoon 21:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Power 52050 hp ? , that is wrong. H-44 has 5 srew turbine/+Diesel mix. It needs 240.000 hp for 30 kn. max. speed. 217.9.49.3 13:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Good point. It was left over from where I copied the infobox from - I've removed it ! HawkerTyphoon 13:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry guys, but what you have here is not the H Class as it was originally designed. You have the stats for the "H-44 design", which was re-tooled from the original "H-39 design".
