Talk:Submersible

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although this article is arguably a dicdef substub at present, please don't delete it. Some of the material now at submarine really belongs here. That's all that is needed for it to grow. There's also a lot more material that could be added.

The submarine article also needs some work, it contains some oversimplifications at present. Replacing this redirect with a definition is a start to that. Andrewa 18:29, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

It's years later, and this article is still in terrible shape. Also, makes questionable statements. E.g., contradicts the Encyclopedia Britannica entry for submersible. Commments like "the main problem" and "having little function at the surface" and "widely used" are fluff. It should be a matter of an hour for an expert to write a meaningful article. 76.102.157.205 (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] contradiction

In the first paragraph, it states "limited mobility intended to remain in one place during use", then the next paragraph details its limited range. In researching such things as shipwrecks (e.g. Titanic), submersibles do move quite a bit. I'm removing the 'intended to remain ...' part of the sentence because it is contrary to actual use and its unnecessarily confusing to a reader unfamiliar with the topic.

I also agree that the submarine/submersible articles are in need of serious revision. - Istvan 18:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

I have added a sources section. How do I get rid of the notice at the top? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CarlsonEric (talk • contribs) 21:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC) Fred Gorell Ocean Nova —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.95.215.212 (talk) 17:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
