[edit] Moved

I moved this article from Sverige Class Armored Cruiser to Sverige class cruiser. This in accord with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships). --Laisak 16:49, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Im actually not sure what to label this ship as, in swedish its a pansarskepp. --Dahlis 18:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
...and I moved the article to Sverige class coastal defence ships, as they are not battleships or cruisers per definition. The correctly translated term would be armoured ship, but since this means something entirely different in English maritimes terminology, the term "coastal defence ship" is closest to the truth. --MoRsE 12:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HMS?

Why in the world are the Swedish ships on wikipedia prefixed with HMS? As far as I know that prefix is reserved for Royal Navy vessels. Shouldn't the correct term be HSMS? Manxruler 17:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The article His Majesty's Ship gives an answer why. MoRsE 12:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
The British sometimes uses the term HswMS about Swedish men of war but it's illogical for Sweden to do so it's not like we have ships loyial to the British Queen Darkwand (talk) 18:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
