HMS Queen Mary lost at the Battle Jutland is categorised twice, under 1912 and 1913, probably because Wikipedia doesn't give her a  number, being the only one ever. Choice is date laid down, date commissioned or no date at all. Would the categorisation project decide, please?

Category: HMS_Queen_Mary_(1912)

Don't we use launch dates?  "She was launched on 20 March 1912 and was completed in August 1913"

If so, 1912 is correct and 1913 should be renamed to 1912.
