INS Chennai
edit- ... that the Indian Navy's Chennai is a Kolkata class destroyer being built in Mumbai?

- ALT ... that Chennai is Kolkata-class? (quirky one; both are major Indian cities). Redtigerxyz Talk 10:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- Well it is quite common for ships names to be after cities. INS Kolkata is just the lead ship of the class, so the ship class happens to be named after her. All I am saying is this is not at all quirky. :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 12:32, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- IMO, since we are not specifying they are ships, the hook seems that "one city is another city-type". So quirky. Final decision with nominators :) Redtigerxyz Talk 15:21, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- OK! I see what you mean. Something like "Chennai is the third Kolkata-class destroyer of the Indian Navy". That should be better! I will let Strike decide. :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 15:32, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- <please take this in good-faith> IMHO the hooks like RedTiger proposed have attracted less views..see this example...I feel we could alter the existing hook to make it more understandable.. I think the info about armament would attract more views than the namesake Cheers, TheStrike Σagle 16:15, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Length fine, sources okay, expansion checked, the original hook is great! Great to go! ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 14:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
