conflicting articles

this article conflicts with the article about HNLMS A, which of the articles is wrong? Lighningknight134 (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lighningknight134 Specifically which part of this article do you believe conflicts with HNLMS A? - ZLEA T\C 00:59, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the General characteristics has multiple differences to HNLMS A for example the article states the class weight 179 tons but in HNLMS A it states the ship weights 182 tons Lighningknight134 (talk) 17:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like it may be due to confusion between a long ton and a short ton, both of which are known simply as "ton" in different parts of the English-speaking world. The A-class minesweeper article's figure of 179 short tons is entirely unsourced. Although there is a source provided for the HNLMS A article's figure of 179 long tons, the source itself only says "179 tons" without specifying short or long tons. A better source is probably needed to fix this issue. Until then, we should probably remove any instances of short/long tons from the infoboxes and list the displacement simply as "179 tons". - ZLEA T\C 17:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1922–1946 gives displacement as 179 tons Standard on p 394, and in the abbrevations section handily states that "Long tons are used throughout".Nigel Ish (talk) 20:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
