Fire[edit]

I'm not sure the fire is notable. Fires occur onboard a ship (heck, in my home, in my kitchen) on a irregular basis, and usually are quickly contained, thanks to the professional level of training each sailor receives. I would consider it mentionable, if there was an external link to reference, providing the necessary level of notability. Otherwise, due to the common nature of these events, I imagine that this event's entry is a result of original research. --LeyteWolfer 17:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Collisions[edit]

Jax was involved in two other collisions, in 1982 and 1984. (With the accidents so close together, many sailors who were on board for the first were still there for the second, resulting in comments about the "Crash crew of '82 / Back for more in '84.") Are these notable enough to be included? 208.47.164.226 (talk) 14:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC) USS Jacksonville (SSN-699) was also damaged by a yard tug boat in 1986. Having just come out of refit at the drydock Resolute, the Jacksonville was berthed at the end of Pier 23 at the Naval Operations Base in Norfolk, VA. The tug backed into the Jacsonville's bow, crushing the sub's sonar dome, forcing their return to the drydock. This added to the comments listed above, "Crash crew of '82, back for more in '84, took their licks in '86." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.67.101.130 (talk) 13:54, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
