    Scones/Buiscut issue on the Honey page

    edit

    You should probably address the issue on Honey's talk page if they change it back. I know it seems ridiculous but there are some people are absurd about minor changes like that and will insist it be kept as "scones". I agree, they're different though.

    Date for gun install photo

    edit

    I see that you are interested in the 12"/45 and have used a photo of one of them being installed on the USS Connecticut. As such, I am hoping that you have access to reference material like the source for that photo (“Battleships” by Paul Stillwell, 2001, Metro Books). The reason I am asking is because the date given for the photo doesn't make any sense: the Connecticut was at sea with the Great White Fleet at the time, hardly a good time for mounting heavy weapons!

    Can you confirm that the source (if you have access to it) actually states that date for the photo? Thanks. Mmccalpin (talk) 16:25, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

    Here is a suggestion I highly recommend that you implement: this edit identifies a solution for an italics and apostrophe problem for ship names. Please implement this throughout the article. -MBK004 06:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

    Orphaned non-free media (File:UB 64 pic.jpg)

    edit

      Thanks for uploading File:UB 64 pic.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

    If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

    US 12" 45 caliber gun

    edit

    Hi, I was reading the article that you've substantially built on the US Navy 12"/45 guns. Great stuff! I did notice an error thoigh and fixed. Only one of the Greek battleships lost her 12" guns to coastal artillery. The other retained hers for gunnery training and took them to the bottom of the harbor when she was sunk. See photo at: [2] Much of this is really muddy pardon the pun. --Kevin Murray (talk) 02:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

    Yes, you are clearly right. I'd still like to know if the guns emplaced on shore were used during the German invasion - never did find anything definitive on that when I was working on this article. Jrt989 (talk) 16:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

    Orphaned non-free media (File:Joan Holloway Wiki.jpg)

    edit

      Thanks for uploading File:Joan Holloway Wiki.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

    If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 18:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

    6"/53 caliber guns

    edit

    Thank you for your edits on subject article. I don't doubt all three classes were designed to use the guns. Campbell indicates the guns installed on the cruisers were guns built for the battleships and battle cruisers. Do you have a source indicating the guns were specifically built for the cruisers? Thewellman (talk) 05:11, 31 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

    Hello Thewellman, I do not have a source that indicates that the guns installed on the Omahas were built specifically for those ships. What I have found is at least one primary source (1922 House Subcommittee Hearings on Naval Appropriations), which makes clear that the 6"/53s were not built for any one ship or class of ships, but instead as one large order, to be used indiscriminately on the three classes of ships as they needed them. See here (specifically pages 474 and 475) for the source. This makes sense when you think about it, as all three classes were being built at the same time.
    What does seem to be the case is that once the South Dakotas and Lexingtons were stopped, the Navy ceased building additional 6"/53s, because they suddenly had a larger number than were needed to complete the Omahas. But that does not imply that these were guns "destined" for those other classes, since they would have been sent wherever they were needed while the ships were being built. In fact, when you consider that when the South Dakotas were canceled the most-advanced of those ships was only 38.5% complete, while Omaha herself was 95% complete, it is hard to see how (at least in the case of Omaha) she could possibly have been in a position to need to "borrow" guns from one of the other classes.
    I do not have access to John Campbell's book, so do not know the provenance of his statement -- if you happen to have it, it would be interesting to see whether he cites a primary source for his assertion. In any event, my main concern is to avoid wording in the article that somehow suggests the Omahas were designed (or redesigned) for the purpose of making use of discarded guns, which is not the case.
