Added the template; feel free to edit it if you need to. I decided to use the Navy Jack as the symbol instead of the emblem, but I will use the emblem in miniature on the Military of Greece page. --Jpbrenna 30 June 2005 05:02 (UTC)

Hey, isnt the term "War Navy" redundant? Naftiko doesn't really mean "navy" in the English sense, because navy implies military vessels. Also Polemiko comes from the root Polemo which means war, but Polemiko means war-ish or military. Naftiko (the root of the English word nautical) is more like the term "marine," which may cause some confusion. A more literal translation would me "military marine" perhaos. I think we should juse use the term Hellenic Navy as the term "War Navy" make no sense in English. Another option might be Hellenic Military Marine, which is a better and more literal translation, but which sounds kind of strange in English. -Alexius Comnenus

Yeah, I think the Greek name is mostly closely parallel to the German Kriegsmarine, which we also somewhat inaccurately translate as "War Navy". --Delirium 09:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

>25 May 2007 (11.36pm)---> kompikos: Why was the Navy Emblem image I had added, removed?? I will add it again but please, whoever removed it, explain why it is not supposed to be there if such the case. Thanks

I removed it because I put in the template instead of the naval jack. But subsequently the image was removed from the template for not meeting copyright criteria. Sorry for the confusion. PS. if you can find a real free-license version of the emblem, it'd be very useful (see here why). Regards, Cplakidas 20:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


>kompikos: The Emblems I used for all three pages of the Armed forces are licenced because they were DIRECTLY retrieved from the website: www.mlahanas.de/Greece/Military/Miltary.html. These emblems are not altered or manipulated in any way but are licenced downloads from the above website.

ALL text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/GNU/GNC.html) so there is no licencing problem. I will post this to the template page as well.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Geetha.png

Image:Geetha.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Thetis (class 520) gunboats

I know three of them still "exist", but are they in commission or they are awaiting disposal? Sv1xv (talk) 09:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Could anyone upload a free image of the emblem of the Hellenic Navy because the previous was removed. - Sthenel (talk) 02:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
