Contents 1 Overhaul 2 Main Article 3 Side Bar 4 Fair use vs. free license image

[edit] Overhaul

I did a bit of a major overhaul to the article, added the sidebar (still in the process of putting info into it though)

After the side bar is done, i might add it to the rest of the Collins class sub articles, and then work on the main area--Nirvana- 16:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Main Article

I have added in 'Notable references' which so far only outlines the appearance of Rankin in the DVD Submariners, other references that could be considered notable that come to mind are either exercise related, or news related, and i was thinking of having any news related references under 'criticisms' (because lets face it, they are always criticisms lol), and any exercise related references in a seperate section (as Rankin has done very well in at least 2 exercises and i think it warrants a seperate section)--Nirvana- 13:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Side Bar

Could someone possibly check the info in the side bar is accurate, there seems to a huge discrepancy between specs on the RAN site, the submarinesaustralia site, and naval technology site, i'm not sure if its just differences in the names of hardware or what, but there could be a few things slightly incorrect. I got the engine specs off the RAN site, and the rest of the specs from the Naval-technology site--Nirvana- 13:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use vs. free license image

Free license images are far preferred over non-free license images. Thus, I have replaced Image:HMAS Rankin 1.jpg with Image:HMAS Rankin SSK-78.jpg. --Durin 18:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
