Awesome image sequence showing the testing of the Mark 48 torpedo by the Australian Navy. Great visualization for Mark 48 torpedo and Torpedo. -- Chris 73 Talk 04:24, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

~~Oppose. It's pretty cool, but doesn't seem to fit in with the idea of being a FP~~ Support the closeup of the single frame. Very cool. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 14:54, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Support. A great image and adds well to mark 48 article.Cavebear42 15:40, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
~~Oppose~~. Although it beats Image:USS Port Royal CG-73.jpg. I quite like the 4th image (centre left) which more or less gives the whole story in one. It might be a better illustration for torpedo whilst keeping this sequence for Mark 48 torpedo. -- Solipsist 14:54, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support the individual 4th image. -- Solipsist 19:59, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Neutral. Would like to see two things tried. 1. obtaining larger copy of one of the middle sequence, 2. using an animated gif to run through it. Dunc|☺ 18:40, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- (1) Uploaded the 4th image of the sequence separately Image:Mark 48 Torpedo breaking ship.jpg. (2) IMHO a GIF sequence would be less desirable because the shots are from many different angles and distances, confusing the user in a slide show. -- Chris 73 Talk 01:32, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  - I think the image by itself works best, and would support that. Dunc|☺ 17:02, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Support the original sequence, a single image has much less impact. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\^talk]] 09:35, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

Oppose both the sequence and the individual image. Each individual image is too small and mostly contains featureless ocean. - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 20:56, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Huh? Featureless ocean? Did you want the ship to be blown up with the golden gate bridge in the background or so? -- Chris 73 Talk 01:11, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
  - I just don't see any detail in each frame. I understand that it is the sequence that is interesting, but this is not "Wikipedia:Featured picture sequence candidates". We need to consider pictures, not sequences of pictures. - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 08:05, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Support sequence, may not be a typical FP, but very informative. ed g2s • talk 13:32, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sequence (+5/-1), single frame (+3/-1), promoting sequence. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\^talk]] 12:59, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
