Shimotsuki

edit

Hi! Any source for the assigment of Shimotsuki under Akizuki sub-class? o_O Infobox says that first batch was only 6 vessels and Shimotsuki is 7th. Also Shimotsuki's hull number was 360 (if this number in this article is correct). 36* hull number was hullnumber of Fuyuzuki and Michizuki subclasses. According to Nevitt's Akizuki class notes the 2nd batch was called "Shimotsuki group" – it means that Shimotsuki was the 1st member of the 2nd group and not the last one of the 1st.--Sceadugenga (talk) 11:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Impulse geared turbines"

edit

Shouldn't that be written "geared impulse turbines"? They are impulse turbines, as opposed to reaction turbines, which also happen to be geared down. Geared impulse turbines..45Colt 23:07, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
