Which exactly was the "prototype" if any ?

[edit]

The photo caption reads "The USS H-3 served as the prototype for the class" but the text reads "The prototypes for the class were the two submarines ordered in 1911 for the Chilean Navy. The 313/421 ton subs were built to the John Philip Holland design 19-E and design 19-B. The Chilean Navy, however, refused to accept delivery of the boats. They were then sold to the Royal Canadian Navy, becoming HMCS CC-1 and HMCS CC-2." which seems contradictory. ?? I think there is some confusion between the general Holland 602 type and the specific US H class. This article is about the general 602 type. Rcbutcher (talk) 07:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-written this bit; It makes more sense to see the Chilean/CC class boats as predecessors, rather than prototypes. Xyl 54 (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Danish Navy?

[edit]

Looking at several sources, I can find no Danish submarines matching the names given in the text. Were these former British or Swedish ships, since they are listed with the HMS prefix associated with those two navies? Or were they, perhaps, ordered but never delivered? Or renamed in Danish service? Color me confused… — Bellhalla (talk) 18:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken these out; The RDN had no Holland boats at all, according to Jane's (Fighting ships of WWI) and Conway (Fighting ships 1922-46). They were added in March 2008 by an anonymous one-edit contributor, who may well be getting muddled with something else. Xyl 54 (talk) 15:59, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
