I intend to maintain this article on Citizendium. I wrote 100% of it for Wikipedia during 2006. ~~~~

I intend to maintain this article on Citizendium. I wrote its original version for Wikipedia during 2006. The source for most of the material was the public domain Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships. I did the extensive Wikification, which included standardization of geographical names across the range of articles on similar ships. I also copy edited the DANFS material, added facts, found photos and external links, etc. There have been few changes by others, and they are minor. I left in the red links, hoping that Citizendium would have articles about them soon. The table at the top of the article is based on similar tables in Wikipedia; I've modified it slightly for CZ.

When I brought the article to CZ, I added sections for the years the ship was in commission, improved the headings in the table, and made minor copy edits. ~~~~

STYLE FIXES:

1. Delete categories, etc.
2. Fix DANFS reference
3. Fix top of table ("Career," Jack, etc.)
4. Fix 5"/38 in table
5. Use modern abbreviations for rank
6. Bring battle star info to top
7. Put sections for each year, etc., where applicable
