Comment: The destination name is already occupied. The nominator has neglected to say what should happen to the article that is already there, and no notice has been put on the Talk page of that article to indicate that there is a discussion happening here that might result in something happening to it. —

It's a dabpage that actually used to be about the ship, not an article. There has never even been a redlink to the obscure military term. It was not a very good move to begin with and was done without seeking consensus. Formalities are irrelevant in these cases.

So, what is your suggestion about what should happen to the article that is already at
Penteconter? Whatever your suggestion is, I strongly suggest adding some notification to
Talk:Penteconter so that anyone watching that article will be informed of this discussion. —

Speaking as a Greek, and someone interested in ancient and medieval warfare, the by far most common usage, and hence primary meaning, would be the ship, not the military rank. The latter, obviously deriving from pentekonteres, is a specifically Spartan form of a term far more commonly found as "pentecontarch", or directly transliterated as "pentekontarchos".
