Talk:DSV Limiting Factor

Length and width

On the official website the long dimension is given as the length, but it seems that the short dimension is more likely the axis for lateral travel, as that is the direction the occupants face and can see out of the viewports. There are precedents fot the length of a vessel to be less than or equal to the beam. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 17:46, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

It is quite possible that the DSV travels lateally on the long axis (like a crab) as a standard procedure, using CCTV to navigate visually, and sonar and compass or inertial navigation systems when out of visual range of the seabed, but there are no sources that state this, and this would make forward and the bow variable and dependent on circumstances. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:47, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@Pbsouthwood either way, I think the current explanation is incomprehensible. instead of the overly complicated "it depends on where the bow is" viewpoint, wouldnt it be easier to make a drawing og the measurements and insert it ? 84.215.194.129 (talk) 21:20, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Excessive detail?

GhostInTheMachine, you tagged for excessive technical detail. Would you be so kind as to specify which of the specifications you think are not appropriate encyclopedic content? Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 18:11, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

In the continued absence of actionable information on what the tagger considered excessive technical detail, I examined the information in the tagged section and assessed it in the context of the reference to WP:What Wikipedia is not mentioned in the tag. None of the information was found to be inappropriate by these criteria, so I assume the tag was added in error and can be removed as inappropriate. I further point out that it is the inherent nature of an encyclopedia to contain details that are only of interest to a particular audience and that tagging as such without sufficient explanation is a waste of everyone involved's time, verging on disruptive editing. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:53, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Some clarification needed.

Vlvescovo, It would be appreciated if you would take a look at the article and let us know of any errors or important omissions. If you find any, please explain and link on this talk page to a suitable source which we can use to make corrections. If you make corrections of fact to the article yourself, please ensure that the changes are supported by the nearest following reference (add one if needed). If there is missing information that you feel is both relevant to this article specifically, and encyclopedic in scope, please discuss on this talk page to avoid any possible issues of conflict of interest, as opinions on that point tend to be somewhat subjective and rather variable, and are best avoided altogether. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

incorrect wikipedia title?

hi - just noting that this craft has been renamed the Bakunawa since it was acquired - should the article be edited to reflect this? did not wish to make the edit myself but i thought i would bring it to attention. thank you. 77.103.5.249 (talk) 00:16, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
