Talk:HMCS Ottawa (FFH 341)

Untitled

The article had the HMCS Ottawa 4 max speed at 76 knots, but the info box has it as 30+ knots (54+ km/h). I cannot believe 76 knots (planes fly at that speed) - maybe the writer meant 76 km/h which is 42 knots - still extremely high, considering the proposed Littoral Combat Ship has a sprint speed of 45 knots. I could not find mention of top speed at the HMCS Ottawa official website, but at the website of the sister ship St.John's it says "ST. JOHN'S Pielstick diesel engine provides impressive fuel economy and endurance, while the GTs permit speeds in excess of thirty knots and greater maneuverability." Wikipedia says the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) supercarrier speed is 30+ knots. The paper "VIABILITY OF LARGE HIGH-SPEED DISPLACEMENT HULLS" by Daniel Savitsky, Daniel Bagnell and Roger Basuat (http://www.dt.navy.mil/ip/mfp/Acrobat%20Files/Technical%20Papers/Session%202%20-%20Advanced%20Ship%20Technology/Topic%2011/DGBJapanMay2000Paper.pdf) confirms that to reach 50 knots the hull should be 1480 feet (the size of a super-tanker - the Nimitz is 1100 ft and the Ottawa only 443 ft). Accordingly, without personal knowledge of the facts, I changed the max speed to "30+ knots". JSupple 18:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 20:26, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
