Talk:USS Gyatt

Modern Slang

Probably not important, however, it could be noted that the word "gyatt" has picked up an unfortunate reputation as slang for the buttocks. 72.241.167.200 (talk) 03:02, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

That wouldn't really be relevant to the article as it's about the ship, rather than the slang term. We cover "gyatt" as a term on List of Generation Z slang. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 11:07, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

This maybe a problem so hopefully we prevent trollers from runing it snd turning it to memes 92.233.69.158 (talk) 18:50, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

At the very least it should be mentioned as to not get the ship name and the slang confused. Sqooz (talk) 21:21, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

I mean, it's pretty obvious from the look of the article (and even the title) that it's evidently about the ship, rather than the slang. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 23:24, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Idk how it works but we could add one of those thingies on the top of the page thats like "if you're looking for the slang gyatt" we could add that 172.101.136.35 (talk) 01:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Apparently Gyatt (the slang term) exists now, and is the primary topic. Thus, per WP:NOHAT it is unlikely people will find their way here and a hatnote ("If you are looking for the slang..." thing) is not needed. Commander Keane (talk) 08:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 January 2024: Simple clarification, To prevent confusion and also that the name is not due to vandalism.

Simply add an italic text to the top, saying something like "Not to be confused with the Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha phrase of the same name. HunterWightAsMell (talk) 07:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: see WP:NOARTICLE. As there is no existing article on the slang term, we should not add that hatnote. Cannolis (talk) 07:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

As of the 24th of february this article does exist, perhaps this idea should be revisited. 2A0C:5BC0:40:1008:AAB1:3BFF:FE7B:FF85 (talk) 17:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

You are free to do as such, however I struggle to see such an article passing AfC. There is already a blurb about it in the article List of Gen Z slang. GGOTCC (talk) 18:53, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

"world's first guided missile destroyer"

The Swedish Halland-class destroyers were purpose designed as guided missile destroyers, with Halland being laid down in 1952 and launched in 1955. Initial missile firings were done with an experimental design, rb 315, starting in 1955 [1]https://robotmuseum.se/robotar/rb-315-316/ before rb 08 entered service in the 1960s. Halland thus started building, commissioned, and fired her first missile before Gyatt was recommissioned as a DDG. WiPuff (talk) 20:10, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

The original DoAFS source was likely referring to the ship being the first to be designated as a guided missile destroyer. As far as I know, the Halland-class was never referred to as a DDG. GGOTCC (talk) 18:51, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

+ the fact that the Halland-class only tested the missiles a year after Gyatt. The test firings appear to have been on land. GGOTCC (talk) 22:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Radar Test Ship: "DD-719"?

Radar Test Ship section: "Now designated as a radar test ship, her hull number was reverted to DD-719." I'm uncertain on whether this is a typo or if there was some funny stuff going on with the designations in 1962, for DD-719 is USS Epperson. Can someone please clarify (or fix)? Skymavn (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

That was a typo, thanks for catching that!
