Chung Shan v Sun Yat Sen

[edit]

It's not clear that the Chung Shan and the Sun Yat Sen referred to in the first paragraph were the same boat. There's also another picture of a Chinese warship identified as the Chung Shan (along with its Captain)in Wikimedia commons. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gunboat_Chung-shan_and_Sah_Shih-chun.jpgGaintes (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was a USS Sun Yat-sen but there are some less careful sources that inexplicably fully translate the name Zhongshan as SS Sun Yat-sen. — LlywelynII 07:25, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for future article expansion

[edit]

Also a reference the Yung Feng in the memoirs of Chang's second wife: http://books.google.com/books?id=IDbvAzXCBH8C&pg=PA109&lpg=PA109&dq=yung+feng+warship&source=bl&ots=iwA-oQuLIF&sig=ZHN4ljkj62KB05pXf9HXc-dGRNo&hl=en&ei=XnAtS7_nGYz9nAeQoMX3CA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBIQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=yung%20feng%20warship&f=false Gaintes (talk) 01:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed,
  • Chiang Kai-Shek's Secret Past: The Memoir of His Second Wife, Ch'en Chieh-Ju. Pps. 109-110
and
  • Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1922–1946, P.412
may both reference this ship, but they shouldn't be added to the bibliography until they're actually being used to verify the article. — LlywelynII 07:25, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
