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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

"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)[reply]
