The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
HMS Grafton (F80) → Almirante Lynch (FF-07) – This is a warship formerly known as HMS Grafton, but acquired by the Chilean Navy in 2007 and renamed Almirante Lynch. Almirante Lynch is her current name. I'm unable to move the page because the target page already exists as a redirect.

Weak oppose. Also per WP:NC-SHIPS "An article about a ship that changed name or nationality should be placed at the best-known name, with a redirect from the other name". At present, based on article content (and for readers of enWP), HMS Grafton remains the best-known name, but not as strongly so as in parallel requests at Talk:HMS Marlborough (F233) and Talk:HMS Norfolk (F230). (That may, of course, change in the future.) - Davidships (talk) 19:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
