Definition of Boat/Ship
I see you put in the United States Coast Guard article that they consider a boat as a vessel under 65 feet. Are you sure of that? I know the United States Navy considers a boat to be a vessel under 200 feet, except submarines, which are all called boats, regardless of size. It just seems interesting to me that 2 US military branches would have such a different definition of the same term. (you may reply here, or on my talk page). --Rogerd 18:19, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Image Copyright status.
Hi there. I've noticed that you've been uploading pictures of several coast guard ships but that you haven't identified the source or copyright status of these images. To protect itself from possible copyright lawsuits, Wikipedia requires that all images be tagged with an appropriate copyright tag and that their source be identified. If you obtained these images from a Coast Guard website or source, they ARE useable and you need only put {{PD-USGov-DHS-CG}} on the image page and a link to the source. If these images turn out to be a copyright violation, they will unfortunately have to be deleted. I can help with that if that's the case. -Lommer | talk 18:22, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Definition of Boat/Cutter
Well I can tell you for a fact that we, USCG, call our boats cutters that are over 65 feet and a small boat that is under 65 feet. We unfortunately do not have cutters over 500 feet. I think our longest cutter is 420 and it a Polar Class cutter.
- Well, as a USCG member, that would make you more of an authority than me. Thanks! And thank you for your service to our country. --Rogerd 19:46, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
