82: 64: 354: 2271:. In general, whenever we have a set phrase, that phrase may take on meanings not deducible from its parts, but that doesn't mean it gets capitalized. Note I'm not arguing either way here (I haven't voted), because I don't know the answer, but I'm trying to demolish incorrect arguments so we can concentrate on factors which are actually relevant. In general, though, our approach is not to capitalize unless we have specific reason to, and so far I don't think I see reason to. — 2584:(3) Though there is mention of the role of MGBs in defending the vital coal convoys from the Tyne and Tees to London and the Southeast, this major part of the usage of MGBs is dealt with in just one sentence. This needs substantial historical expansion. Among other things, the article could explain how, as the battle developed, MGBs started seeking out E-boats before they even got to the British side of the North Sea - so disrupting any attacks before they started. 3193:—when in doubt, downcase: that's in effect the message from MOS, Chicago, and Oxford. But to me there's no doubt. Even if the Royal Navy or the manufacturer has taken out a patent on it, and it's a commercial product, I would not recommend capping. Otherwise we're in for capping every unique component. At the heart of this, capping of this term I suspect owes something to the fallacy that expanded forms should cap the initials that comprise the initialism. Not so. 418: 370: 128: 3572:. The same advocates for 'Remove All Capitalisation' claimed falsely that that article was on a generic term, for the many mobile launcher platforms around the world, thus should be lowercased. However there are no such other platforms, only NASA's, and those are capitalised. We seem to be sacrificing accuracy for a couple of editor's dislike of capitalisation, even where that stems from the originator of a subject. 338: 386: 223: 3642:
forward on the boats. It's safe to say that these early boats, with their very non-standard origin and specifications, perhaps warrant articles of their own. There is information on them and the Type 'C' Fairmile (a boat with a limited 24 unit run) has its own, after all. I can't help thinking that, if these had been aeroplanes, they would already have said articles for each class and type.
33: 295: 284: 273: 262: 181: 145: 2807: 3150:, it not the uses in titles that matter here – it's the uses in sentences. So as Cinderella notes, the stats over-count capped forms, since the lexical match doesn't have a way to exclude the titles and headings, including references to book titles, that account for a lot of the caps. It's just stats. But the stats are telling. 2587:(4) The article should mention the co-operation between MTBs and MGBs in attacks on German shipping on their side of the North Sea. This includes the bolder MGBs passing at high speed very close in front of enemy shipping and dropping depth charges to sink or damage them (since, at that stage, they did not carry torpedoes). 3508: 2895:. I'm a Royal Navy officer with an enduring interest in naval history and in grammar, and I don't recognise your idea of a Royal Navy term that requires capitalisation. I just see poor grammar. I taught at the Advanced Command and Staff Course, and if you'd tried capitalising "motor gun boat", I'd have marked you down! 251: 3442: 3439: 2803: 1247:
Steam Frigate is a proper noun phrase. " Not the same thing at all. AFAIK, "steam frigate" has never been an official designation (rather than a descriptive term) for a class or type in the way MGB or MTB has, so it is comparable to remaking "PT boat". Clearly, "patrol, torpedo" is a descriptive, but

They are clearly not proper nouns, any more than "county" or "shire" is a proper noun when restricted to the context of England. However, proper nouns are only a subset of what we capitalize. The question is how we've decided through the MOS to handle such situations. For military ranks, which it

correctly, it comes down to whether names such as Motor Torpedo Boat, Motor Gun Boat, Steam Gun Boat - in these particular instances - are proper names (proper nouns), as opposed to "torpedo boat" which is a general term.

Std RN practise is to ref to positions alphabetically fore to aft. A is forward-most, B immediately behind that, C, D & E roughly midships, X & Y nearest the stern, generally. (Rarely, Z, too.) Exactly where they are on any given ship depends on the number of actual positions, so an MTB will

Andy, it's about guidelines, not dogma. Not sure why you have trouble understanding that n-gram stats are just stats; not RSs, not more than lexical matches, but a reasonably unbiased objective view of what reliable sources do. If some of the occurrences of "motor gun boat" or "motor gunboat" are

Enough shallow-draft Coastal Forces motor vessels were in fact lost in minefields that I think we can put the debate to rest. As small and fragile craft, when they did hit a mine it was catastrophic (29th MTB Flotilla, operating BPB 71.5-feet type, lost two boats to mines in 1944; MGB 109 - another

Would it be more reassuring if I were dishonest and made a bald statement that it's definitely the case? Any such claim depends on the corpus you sample. In the first page of returns by GBooks, lower-case was in the majority. I've since come across other sources which use l.c. But regardless of

I agree that we shouldn't dab through caps. Something like the suggestion of (Royal Navy) would be more appropriate. Also, sources capitalize the phrase even in the generic, so the number of sources that capitalize is not good evidence, unless they're RS's for capitalization. (A RS is only a RS

While it's nice to try and be standard with gun placement naming conventions, there still seem to be two minor issues: One is that the amidships position would be a 'Q' position (second amidships would be 'P' if present) in standard RN nomenclature (rather than C,D,E); secondly that it's not clear

I've added a further detail to the section on BPB co. 70-feet boats. These vessels were of varied provenance, with earlier boats being RN ordered and later vessels being ex-French. Notably, the original armaments of these boats was considerably modified to the 1942 configuration. In 1941, many of

The sources for Motor Gun Boat (an obscure term) are predominantly Motor Gun Boat, with a few Motor Gunboats too because we almost never get consistency in such anyway. But this is (unlike MTB) an obscure term, so despite the incorrect and unsupported assertion below that it's 'motor gunboat', we

RCN 29th MTB Flotilla lost two of their BPB Type 6s (G-types) to mines in 1944. These were the same hull as the Type 5 MGB (standard war production short boat). I think the matter needs no further debate, but perhaps an expansion of when the danger became worse, if the difference is much known?
3212:: This is a type of vessel not unlike destroyer or frigate. We do not cap these. It is certainly not a class since the designation was applied to several different designs. That the type/designation is "specifically" limited to the RN (or Commonwealth) is not a justification but would fall to 2125:
Sources therefore seem to vary. This is precisely the reason we have an MOS: Sources disagree with each other, and in any case they are usually not RS's for punctuation and formatting. Given that we have no RS's for capitalization, and that RS's for the topic disagree on capitalization, the

certainly isn't a proper noun either, we don't capitalise it at Knowledge (XXG), and arguing that it forms a set within a set doesn't stand up, nor make it a proper noun. Let's be clear here, according to the rules of grammar, "motor gun boat", whether it describes the general or the specific,

But it does. The reason is that sources deviate from each other, and it's much easier to have a standardized MOS than to argue about every single article. If you don't like the MOS, the place to take it up is at the MOS. Trying to subvert it in individual articles is just disruptive. —

I'd assumed it meant that any contact with a mine (which if a floating mine, was usually floating on the surface) would have a devastating effect on the hull. OTOH, they'd be largely immune to bottom-laid magnetically fuzed mines, which were being laid from the air in harbour approaches.

Dear wikipedians, seems that this article could be further improved is more verifiable sources could be located. E.g.: the list of MGB types seems incomplete, description too brief, service too succinct. Also lots of citations missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards,
3512: 3436: 2522:
If floating mines means drifting mines, yes, a hit would certainly destroy the boat. Drifting mines were however, to my knowledge, seldomly used and generally not very effective. If floating mines means moored mines, MGB would just run over them without striking. Regards
3586:
It's still a generic term! Just a generic term in use by the RN. It would only not be a generic term if there was only a single model. But there wasn't. Military organisations have a well-known tendency to capitalise absolutely everything. That doesn't mean we should. --
3448: 3445: 2102:
These are speaking specifically of the RN MGB's, and so should capitalize per the counter-argument here, but they don't. As a precaution against cherry-picking, these were all on the first page of Google Book returns. There were also two sources which did capitalize,

before I fixed it, the article is written as if it's about the Royal Navy term instead of about the type of boat ("Motor Gun Boat (MGB) was a Royal Navy term..."). But that can be fixed. Many sources use these terms in a completely parallel way, and lowercase; e.g.

at the very least. This is just lexing - it'll pick up any old adjectival junk for any sort of gun-carrying boat with a motor in it. Of course that's going to skew massively in favour on uncapitalised forms. But all that matters here is justifying the removal of

You're going to "fix" Motor Gun Boat and stop it being a purely RN term? But "Motor Gun Boat" wasn't used outside the RN. There are no international "motor gun boats" to write about, they're not a grouping which was recognised by other navies.

There's no reason "flotilla" should be capitalized here, so this is another case of a book which capitalizes nearly everything, and their capitalization of MGB doesn't mean much. And we have many sources which do not capitalize at all:

Within the context of the RN, a motor gun-boat is just a motorized gun-boat, correct? We have de-capitalized dozens of military ranks which are specific to the military, and I'm not convinced this is any different.
