New photos

[edit]

Current article has one aerial view of ship and one rather dark image of ship at dock. It could use more pictures, including interior / bridge / details. Photos and/or photo uploads are needed.

  • HABS photos may be available for this site.
  • NRHP photos seem not to be available on-line for this site.
  • New photos would be helpful.

Accidently hit by star shells from the USS North Carolina (BB 55)

[edit]

See http://www.usskidd.com/remem-661WW2-a.html and http://www.battleshipnc.com/history/bb55/wwii/battles/kidd.php I would add a sentence or two about it in the article (probably doesn't deserve more than that), but I'm not sure of the exact date of the incident so I'm note sure where to insert it. twfowler (talk) 20:32, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

post military history section could use clarification

[edit]

For the movie greyhound the ship is Fletcher-class, however, in the book The Good Shepard, the ship is of the Mahan class. The way the page is written here it sounds like both portrayed it as Fletcher-class. I know it is a small issue, but it is worth noting that this was done because they had no mahan class museum ships to use as a set, and this was the only WWII era design left, not because the book had it that way. 2600:8807:3C80:4C:A865:DAF5:8654:CFC3 (talk) 02:28, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
