The following was put by someone (192.153.191.100) on 'USS Patrick Henry', but should go on this talk page, as it is an opinion to change 'Ship-Submarine recycling program' more than a description of USS Patrick Henry: "The Patrick Henry was not an attack submarine, even though it went by SNN-599 in its last few years. It made 59 deterrent patrols, and should be listed as an SSBN. ut your text for the new page here."

Thanks, Andre! I've created USS Patrick Henry and added a note to Ship-Submarine recycling program. --the Epopt

[edit] SRP inventory

Can you tell me how we can find out what is in inventory for SRP that can be purchased?

[edit] CVN-designated Aircraft Carriers

Will this facility also recycle the U.S. fleet of nuclear powered aircraft carriers when they decomission? TomStar81 19:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Presumably so, tho no one knows for certain yet. ➥the Epopt 15:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A note on pronouns

Several people feel that using feminine pronouns for a ship is somehow informal, when in fact the opposite is true. It is universally accepted among Anglophonic naval writers that a ship in commission is refered to as "she." "It" is used for non-ships: hulls under construction in the ways, for example, and most pertinently to this article, decommissioned hulks in the process of being broken up or otherwise disposed of. For further information, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) and Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships. ➥the Epopt 15:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DLGN hull code for Virginia-class

The USS Virginia was a DLGN when her keel was laid down, but was designated CGN by the time she was commissioned. Same with the Texas. Mississippi and Arkansas never had a DLGN hull code. I have removed the DLGN from their entries.
