Double Hulled ?

[edit]

Article states she is a double hulled ship. IN the modern sense, double hulled is a environmental requirement for tankers to prevent spills. And Wikipedia has a article on Double Hull. I highly doubt she is double hulled. perhaps more accurately she is a catamaran. Then there is a term/design of a SWATH - Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull- which Kommuna definitely is not. 12:55, 28 May 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wfoj3 (talkcontribs)

I believe twin-hulled is the more useful term for large military ships of this type. Hard to find a twin-hulled keel laid c. 1911 as a "catamaran." N2e (talk) 03:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reportedly hit by Ukrainian missile, destroyed or possibly sunk?

Oldest active-duty ship?

[edit]

The USS Constitution is still an active duty ship commissioned in the US Navy and has Kommuna beat by more than a century.

Technically the HMS Victory is as well, and even older. PhrozenAK (talk) 22:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are commissioned, but not active duty. Smeagol 17 (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
