Bold Words[edit]

This page appears to contain several entire sections in bold when it appears to be pointless. Should someone modify it? --Halthecomputer

Those are mistakes in the use of single quotes, I'll fix. Stan 15:12, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I made several edits[edit]

I made several edits tonight 'correcting' some of the misleading passages regarding this great ship. Sugar coating and glorifying the U.S. Navy's worst defeat serves no purpose. The Vincennes 332 dead deserve better. And current sailors derive no benefit from glossing over the incredible incompetence demonstrated by several cruiser captains, particularly Bode and Riefkohl.

Copyright violation?[edit]

Several paragraphs appear to be word-for-word from Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Volume 3, no? Weedwhacker128 (talk) 05:20, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
