The lead line says this was the lead ship of a 2-ship class, but there were four ships in the class. Was it originally intended to be just two, and then supplemented? Or is the "2-ship" reference just a mistake? Rem01 09:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked this up myself - the third and fourth ships listed as part of the class are in fact part of the

Aoba class, which is nearly identical to the Furutaka. I'm changing the listing of ships accordingly. Rem01 11:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply

I suggest we move this to Furutaka (Japanese cruiser), or IJN Furutaka. Vice regent 20:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely OPPOSE. The existing title is in conformance with WP:Ships and WP:MIL-Hist format, and is the the same format for every other Imperial Japanese Navy cruiser article in Wikipedia. I find nothing awkward about the title of this article and no justification for change.--MChew (talk) 02:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This is the agreed-upon format for Japanese warship article titles. Cla68 (talk) 05:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
