Name of the class

edit

In every Greek source I have encountered, the class is listed as the Dardo, and not the Freccia, class. The same in the list of Italian destroyers. Should the class perhaps be renamed? Regards, Cplakidas 20:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sources on the class vary between both names, but it is tradition that a class be named after the first ship commissioned, not the first ship laid down or the first launched. In this case, the Dardo was 1/25/1932 and the Freccia was 10/21/1931.[1] Hence, my choice in article name despite the reference confusion. -Dawson 21:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
