message: I've never heard of a paddle steamer (sic!) that is able to make 28 knots. And 8000 shp are simply not enough for this speed - an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, having a similar hull length, makes around 30 knots, but has more than ten times as much machine power! I guess that a figure of 18 knots while assuming a typo error (28 <-> 18) is more probable, and in the range of a fast paddle steamer. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 06:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

message: While footnote "a" is correct in saying that GRT is not the same as modern GT, it is in error in vaguely saying "It is likely, though not specified, one of several measures of Gross Register Tonnage of the registering authority and time".  GRT was used for assessing taxes, and the procedure for calculating it was specified by the US Treasury for US registered ships.  This is clearly stated in the cited reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:C7C0:944A:4642:458E:E3F4 (talk) 23:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Casablanca-class escort carrier

message: The claim about the Casablanca class being exceptional in not having steam turbines is false and misleading.  I don,t have a reference volume on hand so I won,t make the change myself, but I remmeber quite well that Many classes of US Destroyers were fitted with advanced diesel engnes instead of steam turbines.  The german Navy had diesel engines in much bigger ships than Destroyers.  At the other end of tech advance, several ships still had "old" style (but recently built) reciprocating engines instead of steam turbines.  For instance, Canada's Navy during WWII was made up mostly of newly built corvettes fitted with reciprocating steam engines. --AlainV (talk) 23:18, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: USS Oklahoma for one was built after HMS Dreadnought with reciprocating engines. I am revising this statement.
Unlike virtually every other warship since HMS Dreadnought, the Casablanca class ships were equipped with uniflow reciprocating engines instead of turbine engines.

message: "Core was stricken for disposal..."
What does 'stricken' in this context mean? In my dictionary 'stricken' is defined as "afflicted with disease, grief, etc". As it is unlikely that a ship is so affected, I wondered if it is an American-English expression. (I was curious as I do not possess an American-English dictionary, only a British-English version). If it means 'decommissioned', then that word might be a better fit.
I have seen the 'S' word on other pages and don't think it is right there, either.
