message: Although most sources state the place of sinking to be off Florida coast, the following is found on the veterans website 
I served on the EATON from commissioning until sept 1944 and was aboard when we shot down the first 7 planes and sunk the sub on the surface plus all the invasions we were involved in in the South Pacific. I was EM2/c at that time. I just returned from the reunion in York PA. There were only 4 of us old plank owners there. yes we are getting old I'm relizing and wonder how many more reunions I can attend. It was good to see everyone. The picture of the ship with all the rust that was taken just before she was sunk 90 miles off the coast of Norfolk sure is sad looking. She was a good ship. Paul Hecht.

Talk:SS Audacious (1913)

message: DANFS has no listing of an Audacious . I cannot find any evidence that the US Navy ever operated a ship of this era meaning that USS is the incorrect prefix to use for this ship. I found evidence of an SS Audacious  operated by the Merchant Marine.

Talk:USS Halsey Powell

message: Regarding the Anchor, I don't know that it is a given the Powell refers to a USS Powell or an anchor manufacturer named Powell. 1942 is before the keels were laid for USS Halsey Powell and USS William T. Powell (DE-213). This seems like original research at this point to say with certainty that that anchor was from Halsey Powell. Baldt Anchor Company in Chester PA was managed by someone with the last name of Powell during WW2, Those markings may be a certification that the anchor meets that rating in 1942, certified by Powell. I think we need more evidence on the anchor. --Dual Freq (talk) 22:16, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think anchors were cast with a ship name on them since they would have to have a specific ship in mind at the time of the casting. This would prevent mass production. Anchor markings in the UK required the following: "Every manufacturer of anchors shall mark on every anchor manufactured by him in legible anchors, characters and both on the crown and also on the shank under the stock his name or initials, and shall in addition mark on the anchor a progressive number and the weight of the anchor." --Dual Freq (talk) 02:12, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:USS Ingersoll (DD-652)

message: I apologize that this is probably not being entered correctly but I am not a frequent user and am not at all familiar with using the Talk Page. Any moderator is welcome to correct the format of this information. The USS Ingersoll page claims "She sailed for the Far East 9 June and on 5 July 1966 began coastal surveillance patrols."  This is simply impossible because the USS Ingersoll (DD-652) was part of PACMIDTRARON 66 (Pacific Midshipmen Training Squadron 1966) during at least part of that time. I do not recall the exact dates of this training cruise but the USS Ingersoll was in Seattle WA on July 1-4 1966. PACMIDTRARON 66 certainly overlaps the dates claimed on this page.  The Ingersoll Vets homepage at http://uss_ingersoll_vets.tripod.com/dd652.htm states "In early 1966, all 5” 38 gun barrels of Ingersoll required replacement from erosion of the rifling, followed by training operations along the West Coast and Hawaii.  She departed San Diego on 5 November 1966 for the Far East and upon arriving in the Tonkin Gulf was assigned to “Operation Sea Dragon”."  The reference to "training operations along the west coast and Hawaii" apparently includes the PACMIDTRARON 66 cruise from San Diego to Pearl Harbor HI and Seattle WA then back to San Diego.

Talk:USS Longshaw

message: According to a news report from Our Navy (1945-07-15) on the destruction of the Longshaw, the ship's commanding officer was Lieutenant Commander Clarence W Becker. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships article (DANFS, the main source for the article) says the commanding officer was "Comdr. O. W. Becker". Which Becker was in command?
I searched for both names to find other documentation. I found several references (best first) to a Clarence W Becker:
* http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo/wwii/reports/nav_m_b.htm is a list of "Service Personnel Not Recovered Following WWII, 3,186 U.S. Navy personnel with Last Name beginning with B", according to the Defense Prisoner of War - Missing Person Office. It lists a Clarence W Becker, USN, LCDR, lost 05/18/1945 – the same date the Longshaw was lost.
* http://www.accessgenealogy.com/navy/massachusetts/b.htm has an extract of Massachusetts Navy, Marines and Coast Guard World War II Casualty List that reads "BECKER, Clarence William, Lieutenant Commander, USN. Wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Reed Becker, 2 Orne St., Salem."
* http://www.archive.org/stream/navydirectoryoff19392unit/navydirectoryoff19392unit_djvu.txt is the full text of Navy directory : officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps, also including officers of the U.S. Naval Reserve Force (active), Marine Corps Reserve (active), and foreign officers serving with the Navy ([19--]-) (dated October 1939), and names a Clarence W Becker, then an ensign assigned to the USS Memphis.
* http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/United_States_Naval_Academy_Lucky_Bag_Yearbook/1939/Page_335.html has a page from  United States Naval Academy - Lucky Bag Yearbook (Class of 1939) that names a Clarence William Becker of Alton Bay NH.
I found no references to any OW Becker, except in sources with the same text as the DANFS article.
Accordingly, I think it is justified to revise the article to report that Lieutenant Commander Clarence William Becker commanded the ship, and was declared missing in action on the day the ship was lost. Based on the DestroyersOnline source, I'll also note that many of those initially declared missing in action were declared killed in action on July 20.

replies: text: Afterthought: The DANFS index page says that the web site was adapted from a multi-volume print encyclopedia of over 10000 entries, converted to digital form in 2004. I would assume that it was converted by scanning. It's possible that the "O" was simply a mis-scanned "C" that wasn't corrected in proof-reading. That would explain the disagreement between DSNFS and other sources about LCDR Becker's first initial. —Steve98052 (talk) 10:22, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Tracy Sonneborn

message: I've added a section 'Non-Genetic Inheritance'. This is by no means meant to summarise Sonneborn's work, but it seems to me that the experiments that he did in this area will at some future time be recognised as either seminal or at the least far-reaching. I hope that other contributors, better qualified in biology, will fill out this page with other examples of his work which seems to me to have been of a standard that few of us can even hope to emulate. The archive at Indiana I'm sure has ample material. 
On my part I have only looked into his work to follow up on the areas in which I happened to be interested, and it would be a shame if nothing more were to be added about a man who seems to have been a fine scientist.
The section that I added might possibly need links to more recent work on cell division and the role of microtubules in orchestrating the separation of the two copies of DNA that have been produced. And some pictures would be of benefit. Davy p 05:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
