"Greek Navy" was more accessible to most users than "Hellenic Navy" will be

[edit]

While the Greek navy officially is called the Hellenic Navy, many Wikipedia users will not know that and now will have a harder time finding Greek navy transfers than they did when this was called "United States Navy ships transferred to the Greek Navy." Less accurate, perhaps, but far more accessible. Can this be retitled to give the user a fighting chance at knowing that this is a reference to Greece's navy -- maybe "United States Navy ships transferred to the Hellenic Navy (Greece)"?

Note also that this appears under "G", not "H" -- but at least this alphabetization error hints at Greece. Mdnavman (talk) 04:47, 30 August 2009 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]
