You're trying to rely on an old article regarding a projected date for first steel cut, versus a recent article that says it has now happened. As I pointed out, RN ships are no longer "laid down" so first steel cut is used instead.

Please take it to the talk page if you don't understand. John Smith's (talk) 16:46, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

You haven't read the article. The April 2024 article gives a "expected" timeline which the Green entry in the table covers. You're also putting too much detail in the table. It is a short summary of status and does not need detailed information on construction status. The November 2024 article references on steel cutting merely confirm the timeline for laying down in 2025 are "expected".

You're also reverting changes then telling me to take it to talk page. You take it to talk page first, if you want to make changes. Markcr (talk) 17:06, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

The expected timetable is only relevant where events have not yet taken place. If a milestone has happened, that's when specific dates are put in.

Another user has agreed with me, so I suggest you try to put your point across on the talk page if you feel strongly about this. John Smith's (talk) 19:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
