Talk:USS Ponce (LPD-15)

message: "USS Ponce has conducted 23rd change of command ceremony. Commander Richard Frey assumed command of the USS Ponce Friday 13th 2007 from Commander Wesley A. Brown."  This could prove important later... but seems unlikely, so I decided to keep it here. 22:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "This collision was found to have been caused by the British coastguard who had fallen off their seats and were rolling around the floor in hysterics at the time of the accident."   This looks so unencyclopedic that I suspect vandalism.

message: The attribution of the namesake of the city of Ponce is incorrect.  
From the Wikipedia entry on Juan Ponce de Leon y Loayza:
"Juan Ponce de León y Loayza (born San Juan, Puerto Rico)[1] was the son of Juan Ponce de León II (born Juan Troche-Ponce de León), an interim Spanish governor of Puerto Rico in 1579. His mother was Isabel de Loayza born in Villa Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Spain, the daughter of Governor Inigo Lopez de Cervantes y Loayza.[2][3] The city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, was named after Juan Ponce de León y Loayza."
From the Wikipedia entry on Ponce, Puerto Rico:
"The city is named after Juan Ponce de León y Loayza,[18][19] the great-grandson of Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León.[20]"
The ship is named for the city, but the city was named for the great-grandson of the conquistador.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.13.135 (talk) 02:21, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
