I wonder what kind of tons Sondhaus is using, because Conway's gives Lissa at 7086 tons displacement. Have mörser, will travel ( talk) 10:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Data from Conway's on Austrian center battery ships:
After that the Austrians switched to barbette designs by Josef Kuchinka (not the football player, of course). Have mörser, will travel ( talk) 10:29, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
I think the "central battery ship" is simply the American spelling of the UK term. In Conway's, chapters on navies other than GB use "central battery", but the one for GB uses "centre battery". Also see [1] (The Oxford illustrated history of the Royal Navy, p. 212, which uses centre). Have mörser, will travel ( talk) 13:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
I see that the bulk of the article and main reference were added by different editors [2]. Given this, I assume the contents I found here before my first edit, although generally correct, does not follow the source closely, so I'm taking the liberty to change it here and there. Particularly the part about turret ships is rather more complex than the straight progression implied here. I don't have Warrior to Dreadnaught on hand, but the British part story is easy to source from other sources as well. Have mörser, will travel ( talk) 17:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
