Talk:USS Simpson (FFG-56)

message: Those maintaining this page should update it to reflect deletion of the GMLS Mk.13 M4 following the retirement of the SM-1 missile. This change also removes the Harpoon capability.
Although you would need confirmation, I believe this ship has received (or is about to receive) Mk.53 NULKA decoys.
Rodger Simpson was one of the most heroic and intrepid destroyer men of WW.II. In addition, I can think of Francis X. McInerney, Frederec Moosebrugger, Jesse Coward and Earnest Evans, all of whose service reflect the highest traditions of bravery, leadership and science of the USN. They all deserve biographical pages for the record to be complete. W —Preceding unsigned comment added by Groundwork745 (talk • contribs) 05:38, August 4, 2006

thread_title: unnecessary information

message: Necessary information... 
Several other naval battles may have used missiles, however, I would suggest that this was the first true modern day guided missile battle. Electronic contermeasures do not constitute a guided missile. I will not, at this point, reinsert the proclamation of first surface to surface missile exchange but I do believe it is relevant as the first U.S. NAVY surface ship to sink a enemy combatant after being fired upon by a likewise real guided missile. If anyone agrees with me feel free to edit the article. I also believe a true history of a ship should include CO's. I also believe an accurate portrayal of the ship can be reached by listing its commendations. Perhaps, the more relevant commendations should be expanded upon. Please do not be jealous because you were on a lousy ship sinking in its coffee grounds with broken down weapons systems. David Silver might be a bit vain but if you read between the lines he makes valid points which need references. Maybe instead of banning him other wikipedia members should help corroborate his assertions. (Bigfred105 03:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

text: As a comprimise, since it appears to be general knowlage that other ships have sunk enemy combatants, but no source can be directly quoted, why not just simply state that 'Simpson is amoung a mere handful of commisioned vessels to have sunk an enemy in combat.' As to why the other two vessels that sunk the Joshan along with the Simpson, they have been decommissioned.  Leaving Simpson as the sole remaining commisioned vessel from that particular action.XavierGreen (talk) 18:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
