• Isn't Electric Boat Company the common name? 132.205.44.134 23:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Except that this is a corporate name, and in those cases, the tendency is to use the firm's actual name, sans "Inc," "Corp," "Plc," "Co," etc. (except for firms where that is part of common usage, such as Onex Corporation. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 06:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • BTW, there are 53,000 Google matches for the exact phrase (in quotes) "General Dynamics Electric Boat." Certainly gets used frequently enough. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 07:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

List tables

Two observations of the list of submarines tables

First, the 'Type' column is in most cases useless. It should be removed and replaced with text outside the tables.

Second, since this is an article about a manufacturing company it would be of interest to know the construction time for each sub. Therefore, I would like to add a laid down column to the left of the commission date column, and a 'pre-commissioning time' column to the right.

Thoughts? Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 18:37, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

The lists use to be a class list, not a list of every boat constructed. It's really too much information for a company-level article, in my opinion, especially at the level of details that keep being added. If such a collection of lists is really needed, they should probably be split off to a separate list article, and replaced with a simple class list. BilCat (talk) 19:55, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

I see your point regarding the separation of lists. Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 03:05, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
