i would like to encourage the systematic use of metric system as it is more universal (and more aproppriate for an encyclopedia)

More to the point, definitely merge the two articles together as it clearly makes sense!

Merge

Don't merge with other artcle. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships:

Ships that have changed nationality may want to have separate articles for each nationality; for instance USS Phoenix and ARA General Belgrano were physically the same chunk of iron. The end of one article should explain the circumstances of the transfer and link to the article about the new incarnation. In some cases there is little to say about some of the incarnations (Cutty Sark for instance), in which case separate paragraphs within the article work.

Althought the Cabot and Dedalo were the "same chuck of metal" with different names, she wasn't so to the sailors -like my own father- that knew her from the inside. You should have seen the faces of such spanish sailors when they learned that Dédalo was being taken apart in a yard instead of having a honourable end -that is suck-. Peppe

Island and Bridge

edit

The National Museum's webpage seems to indicate that the Cabot island at their site is merely a reproduction, not the original. Can anyone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by La Maupin (talkcontribs) 18:31, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Added information about Cabot's island. The original island was given to a museum, which then closed. The one at the National Naval Museum is indeed a replica.
