message: Deleted list of Leading institutions as WP:OR, if they are leading then they should have a Wikipedia article or some source for their leadingness needs to be provided. Also removed the growing External links as spam, Wikipedia is not here to advertise for college recruiters. Vsmith 23:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Changed the number of ABET institutions from NINE (9) to TEN (10). Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) has a seperate curriculum from that of Texas A&M University (TAMU) and is responsible for attaining ABET certification on its own and independent of TAMU.

message: This article has been de-disambiguated per WP:DABCONCEPT, as the topics covered were not unrelated topics coincidentally sharing the same name, but were broadly conceptually related topics generally not sharing the same name. bd2412 T 05:14, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I strongly disagree... an operating engineer and a design engineer occupy two very different rôles. This is akin to saying "Georgia, a nation in Europe, is located between the Carolinas and Florida and known mostly for Coca-Cola." K7L (talk) 03:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  At a higher level of abstraction, we are talking about the range of activities that allow machinery to operate in a marine environment. Part of the reason that this was so clearly a dabconcept case was that incoming links could not be fixed because they tend to refer to the field as a whole (not the case with Georgia). bd2412 T 03:48, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I have added some explanations under the history section for Ocean Liners(pertaining to the history of how they came to be popular around the world), Cruise Ships(explaining how they were the result of the unused ocean liners after they were no longer needed), and Cargo Ships(providing details about how they came to be and are still used for their ability to move very large loads very long distances and do it relatively easily). I have also added some additional info for the Naval Architecture section as it was only one sentence and it also provided some clarification to the whole idea of the specialty.

message: 'Numerous famous examples of shipwrecks exist, but recoveries include Squalus (subsequently rechristened USS Sailfish (SS-192)) and Project Azorian, the clandestine recovery of a portion of Soviet submarine K-219 by the U.S. Navy and CIA in 1974 aboard Glomar Explorer. [33] [34]'  
Checking the linked page for K-219 shows that it sank in 1986 (making this sentence a little chronologically implausible), and Glomar Explorer's page says that it was used to salvage the submarine K-129 in 1974 after said vessel sank in 1968.  Source [33] also specifically links to an article on K-219, so presumably that needs changing too.  I know nothing at all about any of these topics or editing Wikipedia so I can't do anything about it myself, I just tripped over this small error and want to pass word on to someone more useful than me. 2607:F2C0:EAB8:5A9:8C4:B28E:B4B:553F (talk) 04:20, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Maybe there could be section that mentions the other fuel options for ships, such as BHP aiming to receive a bulk carrier powered by ammonia by 2026 or Myklebust Verft building hydrogen powered ferries?  RewanJude (talk) 15:58, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
