Sourcing[edit]

My edit was deleted because I do not have a linkable source to firsthand information.

During the yard period concluded fall of 1985 we installed additional SONAR systems. These are likely not noted anywhere as they were experimental and I am not sure if some were unique systems or not. AN/SQQ-17A(V)2 - This is a sonobuoy system. Significant modifications were made to the AN/SQS-35 to fit a tail, AN/SQR-18 A(V) passive Towed Array system. These systems were used to track (primarily) Soviet submarines in the Western Pacific and fill in the P-3 ASW patrol around Cam Ranh Bay and the various straights from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean.

One source already listed on the page has AN/SQS-35 IVDS listed as a SONAR system. This is correct. Digitalblister (talk) 13:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In response, just because you were there is not a credible source per our policies on original research and verifiability. -MBK₀₀₄ 16:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, which is why it was listed here. However, as I mentioned, the information regarding the 35 IVDA was already sourced by the links already in existence. The deletion was in error. 98.163.18.186 (talk) 00:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the instructions I found regarding the deletion of posts expected to have no references: "Any material lacking a reliable source may be removed, but editors might object if you remove material without giving them sufficient time to provide references. If you want to request a source for an unsourced statement, consider tagging a sentence by adding the {{Fact}} template, a section with {{Unreferenced section}}, or the article with {{Refimprove}} or {{Unreferenced}}. Alternatively, you may leave a note on the talk page requesting a source, or you may move the material to the talk page." Since the information is already referenced by the sources listed, I am replacing it. Digitalblister (talk) 03:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

collision[edit]

The following is from an Article in Stars and Stripes but, I cannot find the publication date. Can anyone help?: "While crossing the Uraga Suido outbound traffic seperation lanes to enter Yokosuka, Japan, the USS Lockwood [FF-1064] collided with the Philippine merchant ship Santo-Nino at 7:26 p.m., Dec. 10, 1985. The Lockwood commanded by Cmdr. Warren P. Hudson, was hit on the starboard side, forward of the bridge. Damage included a hole 15 ft. wide, 12 ft. deep and extends 25 ft. down the starboard side." I remember this as 12 Dec 1985 but, I could be wrong. It was STG2 Kevin Marlar's birthday.Digitalblister (talk) 05:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an article from AP: http://www.apnewsarchive.com/1985/Four-Injured-in-Collision-of-U-S-Navy-Ship-with-Philippine-Freighter/id-e644d487f07613e9baff69bf46f113ad — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.239.45.130 (talk) 06:20, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone know if a report was every produced for this incident? The collision happened on the stated date: 10 December 1985. The only report I can find is a JAGMAN investigation conducted by the Commander Destroyer Squadron 15, which is dated 21 January 1986. — Preceding unsigned comment added by COMSO490 (talk • contribs) 05:03, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

3"/50 caliber gun[edit]

Knox class frigates never carried this gun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by COMSO490 (talk • contribs) 05:01, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
