review
  • There shouldn't be a period in the caption of the image, as its not a complete sentence.
  • I linked flagship at first mention in the lede, hopefully that's ok.
  • That's all. Good work, and on hold.

    • Good catch on the period - it was in the article when I rewrote it and I didn't notice it. Good call on linking flagship in the intro too. Is there anything else you'd like to see done with the article? Thanks for your review. Parsecboy (talk) 20:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dimensions and references

[edit]

Dimensions are a relatively common source of confusion with ships/boats. Some of the print references may be questionable.

  1. Masséna was 112.650m between perpendiculars - in this case from the furthest (submerged) extent of the bow to the axis of the rudder. (LBP)
  2. 116.785m on design waterline (LWL)
  3. 117.120m overall (LOA)

Dimensions are from primary source - drawings from Marine Nationale / Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire. 206.47.94.227 (talk) 17:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conway's did give the correct figure of 112.65m for the length between perpendiculars - I just linked to the wrong article inadvertently. Thanks for catching my mistake. Parsecboy (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
