The official website ( http://www.marine.forces.gc.ca/algonquin/about/ship_about_e.asp?category=12) says:
BATTLE HONOURS WORN WITH PRIDE WITH THE PRESENT HMCS ALGONQUIN
So it would seem that Canadian ships perpetuate the battle honours awarded to ships of the same name. This would be reasonable since the Army does about the same with perpetuating CEF battle honours. If correct, these should be added back in. J Costello 14:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
I raised this at Talk:CFB Esquimalt but should have asked here instead. The official web page for the Algonquin refers to her as DDG 283. I have changed the name of this article to match that, but there are various places where she is DDH 283. Which is correct? -- KenWalker | Talk 16:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Forgive this rather poor editing. I am not used to working with wiki. To Answer your Question it is DDG. DDH was probably assumed by Frigates being FFH or else a simple Typo with H being next to G || MS Bloggins|| 142.179.101.212 ( talk) 14:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Some, but not all of the edits/points/observations I have noted are listed below:
Wrote the months in full.
Put ships' names in italics.
I don't really understand why this article has a 'Command Team' section. Having looked, this 'feature' seems to be peculiar to Canadian ships. Surely it will have to be regularly up-dated as the names will change (see line below).
Why is the 'Timeline' so detailed, (which also makes it extremely long)? e.g. A typical pair of entries read: "2007, June 30: Vancouver", or "Cmdr Xxx assumes command". What does it mean and is the 'Vancouver' mentioned in the first example, the city or the ship? Its even got: "2007, San Diego (cancelled)". If 'San Diego' was cancelled, why include the entry?
And to have the article tagged as a stub...please, it was over 16k! There can be only one answer; it's a copy-and-paste-job. I get the feeling that a serving or ex-member of the crew has decided that the Alonquin would have a larger article than any other ship in the Canadian Navy.
I would say that some of the information in the 'Timeline' could be condensed to a few lines of prose; I'm pretty sure that the MoS says somthing on those lines. The whole article should be about a third of its present length.
What do other editors think?
