message: Worth adding in that she was commissioned without working weapon elevators and along with other problems is not now expected to see a patrol until 2022/23, 6 years after commissioning. And that failing to fix her cost the defense secretary his job. https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2019/12/09/for-the-us-navy-its-all-hands-on-deck-to-fix-the-ford/

replies: text:  As of December 2020, this ship is still not operational.  The status "In Service" - should be corrected since this ship is NOT in active service. That is a false statement.  73.6.96.168 (talk) 04:27, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Take it up with the Navy. They say she is active. - wolf 02:47, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm reluctant to touch this as an IP, but could some of the guff about the ship's crest be compressed? The language is not remotely neutral. 131.111.184.3 (talk) 16:59, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Huntington Ingalls Industries said the length is 1106 feet  75.139.201.84 (talk) 16:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Given the length may have changed since 2013, it's better to use the later Navy source. BilCat (talk) 20:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The above ref cited by the ip user is from 2013 while the ref currently attached to the length in the infobox is from 2020. - wolf 02:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Just noticed the second ref with longer length. It's not dated, but still a Navy ref. I'll hunt around and see if I can find a reason why different sources have differing lengths. - wolf 17:21, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

message: How can Ford, at 100,000 tons, be heavier than Nimitz, at 100–105,000 tons? GA-RT-22 (talk) 00:04, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

message: What exactly are you requesting sources for? The 2023 deployment? It's right there in the cited source: "The training cruise will partner the strike group with allied ships and will inform a traditional deployment in 2023, USNI News has learned." Are you objecting because USNI attributes this to anonymous sources? Why did you revert the typo fix and the quote fix? The qoute "having met initial operating capability" is wrong, it does not appear in the cited source. GA-RT-22 (talk) 06:03, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't clear in your summary why you were adding/changing content. It appearred to be new content with same/old source. - wolf 21:00, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It is new content from the same source. Is that a problem? GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:37, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No, like I said, that wasn't clear at the time, it appearred to be unsourced. Carry on. - wolf 23:24, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

message: "Four shafts", what exactly is/are "four shafts"?, turbines perhaps? 107.190.98.138 (talk) 17:07, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The shafts are what the propellors are attached to, (see: ). - wolf 20:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it deserves some clarification and have linked it to shafts. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 00:51, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
