Should this ship[1] be included in this template? 86.87.73.104 (talk) 10:24, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In this usage, "ironclad" means a capital ship, not necessarily any ship given armor protection. Rhein and Moselle were very small riverine warships and don't fit that description. They would be best included in a template that groups the coastal and riverine warships (for instance, the Wespe class) of the Imperial Navy. Parsecboy (talk) 13:54, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks for the clarification. 86.87.73.104 (talk) 17:26, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
