Talk:Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer

General statistics posted by myself come from the book ONI 222-US, United States Naval Vessels, 1989, published by The Floating Drydock, Kresgeville, PA 18333. On the copyright page of the book it says, "You may notice several errors in both the ship listings and the photograph caption. These errors appeared in the original." If anybody finds these, please change them. Liblamb 04:52, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I updated all the general characteristics of these ships. Only a few minor discrepencies, and it seems so far that one or two ships in this class are a few tons heavier, but its nothing major. I also added 3 more ships (thomason, buck, and henley) to this list while removing 1 (Ammen, since its really a fletcher class). According to a few sources I've seen there were 58 Sumner destroyers, and now I think this list has them all. I plan on adding all the pages for these destroyers, and with Wwoods help, I made a template to do so, Check out my user page if you'd like to see it. Malo 18:07, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I made some changes to the spec, based on Lenton's American Fleet & Escort Destroyers. Any mistakes? Also, how many DCs were the usual loadout? Trekphiler 00:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

USS Walke DD--723, Ship's History, Mine strike 1951, Korean War

Both US Navy DANFS, and Wikipedia state that, upon returning to the US in 1951 after sustaining damage from a mine, USS Walke DD-723 entered Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs to the damage. This is in error, (which I previously reported to DANFS.) The repair period actually took place at US Naval Shipyard, Hunter's Point. I joined the crew of USS O'Brien, DD-725, in December of 1951. She, (O'Brien) was undergoing major overhaul and upgrade. USS Walke, DD-723 was in the adjoining drydock, with plainly visible major repairs in progress to her hull, on the port side aft. I don't remember exactly the number order of the drydocks mentioned, but do know that they were docks #'s 1,2,& 3. They were, (and are,) located just inside and to the left of the Evans St. entrance to the yard. Roy C.

Ship Info Box - Builders

I really like the way you have listed the Shipbuilders here. Is this the new standard for the Builders in Ship Info boxes? Not listing shipyards has always bothered me when reviewing other ship pages. For me anyway the shipyard is as important as the Builder.

Notwithstanding I was curious how you dealt with Todd. Seeing they had a number of shipyards (like Bethlehem) I wondered why the Todd entry is not managed the same as the Bethlehem entry? Lǐshìmǎn (talk) 10:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
