Click to rearrange
Why can't we click columns to rearrange, high to low, low to high, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony717 (talk • contribs) 22:36:44, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- You should be able to, the table is sortable. I am to sort all the columns with a click. Check again - theWOLFchild 05:38, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion
The table is kind of wide. This could be solved be separating the power of the army, navy, and air force into 3 different sections. Should this idea be implemented?

"Total" row entries are incorrect.
Total numbers are incorrect. e.g. Total cruisers are listed as 27, but the US is said to have 22, Russia 5, Egypt 2, and PROC 1; 22 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 30, not 27.
The entries for the totals are just strings containing numbers that a user has put in. Can we make the totals equal to the sum of all entries in the corresponding columns? --The Elysian Vector Fields (talk) 03:54, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
Accuracy
- Pakistan has one nuclear weapon? According to the Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction article, it has 150-160.
- Attack helicopters - does that include naval helicopters (SH-60, naval Lynx & NH90 etc) armed with torpedoes or just helicopters used mainly over land like the AH-64, Tiger and Mil Mi 24/28 (and armed transport helicopters like the UH-60 & Mil Mi 17)?
- Amphibious warfare ships - this can be deceptive of true naval power projection when a smaller landing ship is compared (numerically) with USS Wasp type amphibious assault ship. 82.45.152.152 (talk) 10:38, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
@Thewolfchild The entire list uses the IISS classifications for all the military equipment. That's why the it says the US navy has 19 frigates even though it officially doesn't have any because the IISS consider littoral combat ships to be frigates. Its the same way with the Saudi Riyadh class ships are classified as destroyers by the IISS even though they are officially frigates. Amaan4210 (talk) 13:48, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Your OSE argument fails on both ends;
On the LCS page, as well the pages for two LCS-classes, there are numerous references to those ships being compared to frigates, considered as frigates and at point even possibly being re-classed as frigates.
On the Riyadh class page, and the original French class page, both list those ships as frigates, with no mention of destroyers, of them being destroyers, considered as destroyers or compared to destroyers (as I mentioned before, and you have still haven't addressed).
This is just a list page, a collection point of info found on WP, with links to WP articles, it shouldn't be at odds with the content of those articles. - wolf 21:59, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- That doesn't matter, the list only uses one criteria to determine which ships are classified as destroyers and frigates which is the IISS's classification. According to it, if a ship has an FLD greater than 4,500 tons, than it's a destroyer. All the other countries in the list use the same classification.
