LSTs

The RSN calls them Landing Ship Tanks, so why should we call them by other names? I have seen the name changed at least twice! --Huaiwei 08:03, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think the article classified the different types of ships generically. Whether tank landing ships (LSTs) or amphibious transport docks, it is all a matter of nomenclature. In fact, MINDEF has referred the "LSTs" as "helicopter landing ships", "landing ships" on numerous occasions in their official news releases [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

If you have read the article carefully, the Endurance class are really LPDs, with their helicopter landing ability and the ability to ballast and de-ballast to support landing craft or amphibious vehicles. --220.244.242.231 05:02, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Copyright

If I may quote from the copyright "disclaimer" in the associated images displayed on this page:

"The copyrights to this image are held by the Ministry of Defence, Singapore (MINDEF). As stated in its website, users may only download, reproduce or use this image strictly for non-commercial and personal purposes. Users are strictly prohibited from modifying, distributing, re-posting, "framing" or using this image for any public or commercial purpose including for sale, unless prior written permission is first obtained from MINDEF."

The copyright specifies that these materials or images may be used only on a non-commercial and personal basis. Wikipedia complies with the former perfectly well, but as a public domain website, it is far from being "personal". Displaying Mindef's pictures on an open website is not personal use, and is therefore a violation of copyright. These images will have to be removed unless direct permission is sought from Mindef. Better yet...lets take our own photos! :D--Huaiwei 09:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have a photo of the RSS Resilience. Anyone else in support of using this? The picture can be made smaller for the article.VK35 23:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow...quite a striking photo, but it may not fit into the box nicely due to its dimensions. Perhaps post it as a picture elsewhere in the article?--Huaiwei 16:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since there has been no objections so far, I've replaced the fair use photo with the above photo except I reduced the above photo's size.VK35 16:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos

I have to add a little personal opinion here--I'm in the US Navy, have worked with the Singapore Navy, and find them one of the best and most professional forces. I realize that's not the point of Wikipedia or the discussion pages, but, well, had to throw that in. On a similar note, kudos to this article's writers. Very well written. --12.154.39.254 14:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

correction?

Was there a delay in commissioning the RSS Formidable [[6]] versus the current article which says 2004?71.212.89.199 16:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specialized Marine Craft Type-II

Are there WP:RS on these stealth vessels? Presumably deliberately excluded from RSN website (or at least, I cannot find reference). [7] [8] [9] Davidships (talk) 11:42, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

@Bakertheacre Hello. I note you have removed the flags from the infobox. I would like to point out that the US Navy and British Royal Navy pages both feature both Presidental (or Queen), Ensigns (no dispute there) and Naval Jacks (Britain has the same Jack as their national flag in their infoboxes. Therefore, I do believe they should remain in the infoboxes as I have always used these two pages as standards to measure up against. Unless there's something I am missing or we could remove the flags from those two pages as well, I would like to seek your concurrence to revert the edit.

Infobox list

@Sgweirdo: Please note that uncollapsing the list of engagements will cause the infobox section to move into the history section and displace the photos there. Where possible, the infobox should be kept neat and tidy, and as short as possible. The list of engagements should also follow the format of the lists above in the 'size' and 'ships' sections, which do not contain bullet points. They simply take up more room than necessary and causes the text to be displaced to the right. Seloloving (talk) 16:32, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
