Terminology[edit]

Under the Okinawa's status it states "Expended as a target" can someone please explain what this terminology means? Misterrick 20:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

What it means is that it was used in a live firing exercise as a target and sunked. ViriiK 07:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
