Depth of Milwaukee Deep

[edit]

The depth of the Milwaukee Deep listed in this article does not agree with the number given in the main page for Milwaukee Deep.--Tomyhoi (talk) 04:15, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ship Builder

[edit]

I've found that it looks like the wrong shipyard is used in the article. From what I've found, Seattle Construction and Drydock Company was sold and changed its name in 1916 to Todd Pacific Shipyards, Inc., Tacoma WA. This page shows Milwaukee. [1] This page is from the Navy. [2]. I won't make any changes until I here back.Pennsy22 (talk) 05:48, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the wrong shipbuilder, see [3], which says "laid down on 13 December 1918 by Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co., Seattle, Wash., launched by Todd Dry Dock & Construction Co.". We just need to say that SCDD was bought by TDDC between keel laying and launch.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:22, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but [4] says, "Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co. [1911-1916], Todd Dry Dock & Construction Co. [1916-1918]". I think DANFS is quoting who the contract was originally given to. If you don't agree then I will change it to what you suggested. Thanks. Pennsy22 (talk) 04:27, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
<puzzled>But why would DANFS say SCDD when it had already been bought by Todd when the contract was signed in 1917? And when the Seattle shipyard was closed in May 1918 and the three cruisers transferred to the new Tacoma shipyard? That is if the Vigor Industries page is RS. I don't immediately see anything that gives sources or an author so it may not be eligible for RS status without that info. I think that you have the right idea and let's not sweat the details and say that it was laid down by TDDC.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:53, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe this will set your mind more at ease [5]. I don't have time to change it now but if you don't mind I'll change it tonight. Thanks for your input. Pennsy22 (talk) 10:20, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and did it myself.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:49, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
