Removed text[edit]

the Stennis is one of the few aircraft carriers to have a nuclear reactor as its power source

Ummm, not really, it and the other eight (soon to be nine) Nimitz class aircraft carriers each have (or will have) two A4W reactors; That plus the venerable USS Enterprise (CVN-65) with its eight A2W reactors makes ten active nuke carriers, soon to be eleven. The next generation of supercarriers, the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, will also be nuclear propelled, each with two A1B reactors (which may also replace the A4Ws in the Nimitz class).

So there are two problems here: Firstly, it's not a reactor but two, and secondly, this is the normal power source for a supercarrier. The text removed is both inaccurate and misleading. Andrewa 10:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear Material[edit]

I removed the section about the nukes being stored at sabeso beacause the millitary will not confirm or deny the prescene of nukes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heygofish1 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nonexistant ships?[edit]

In the section titled "Ships formerly permanently forward deployed to Sasebo, Japan" two ships appear as redlinks. However, the ships names appear improbable.

USS Hassayampa (AO-145)

USS SURFBIRD ADG-383

It would improve the article if an editor could track down if these ships exist.--TGC55 (talk) 12:46, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the USS Hassayampa (AO-145) did exist. A wiki search just by the name (no classification/number) brings up a number of image files and written references. It appears that there is no wiki article for the ship. I should have done some more research.--TGC55 (talk) 12:58, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

USS Surfbird (ADG-383) article exists under classification/number AM-383. --TGC55 (talk) 13:18, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correction Needed[edit]

In the "Ships formerly permanently forward deployed to Sasebo, Japan" section, The dates of the USS Germantown (LSD-42) are incorrect. The dates according to uscarriers.net/lsd42history.htm,The USS Germantown was in Sasebo from 1992 to 2002 after a ship swap with the USS Harper's Ferry (LSD-49). Also, I was stationed in Sasebo in 1995-96 and the "G-Town"as it was called was stationed there during that time. I was stationed to BeachMasters Unit One Detachment Western Pacific (BMU-1 DET WESTPAC), now Naval Beach Unit 7. SFTEXFAN (talk) 04:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
