Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/February 22, 2009

Hey all. Tom wrote the lead when the DANFS text remaining in the article made it seem like Connecticut had, indeed, served with the Pacific Fleet for the "rest of her career". However, later research and writing uncovered details that DANFS didn't even approach, so I would request that the last two sentences be changed to:

For the remainder of her career, Connecticut sailed to various places in both the Atlantic and Pacific while training newer recruits to the Navy. However, the provisions of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty stipulated that many of the older battleships, Connecticut among them, would have to be disposed of, so she was decommissioned on 1 March 1922 and sold for scrap on 1 November 1923.

One more, to highlight the date connection. To replace "After completing her service with the Great White Fleet", maybe "After the Great White Fleet returned to the U.S. on 22 February, ..." —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 20:16, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
