[edit] Flag

I have changed the flag shown to the White Ensign. No offence meant. During WWII, the White Ensign was flown by all Empire navies - only the Canadians used their own jack (which was only flown in port. Discussions within Wiki favour the use of historically correct ensigns. Folks at 137 21:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger?

Isn't it normal practice to have only one article per ship, regardless of service in more than one navy? That being the case, this should be merged/redirected into INS Delhi (1948), since that is the name under which it spent most of its career (as it was not decommissioned until 1978). Grant | Talk 06:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

No, its often the case that we will have two articles if there has notable service in more than one navy. Hence ARA General Belgrano and USS Phoenix (CL-46) for example. If anything the merge should be the other way around as well, as our guidelines call for the name under which her most notable actions took place if there is a desire to keep it at one article. The River Plate actions and her Second World War service were the ship's most notable, internationally renowned actions. But it's common practice for ship articles to be split if an editor feels two decent full articles will result. The Delhi article could use some expansion but I don't think a merge is necessary.
