Talk:Richard O'Kane

message: The article on cribbage states that "cribbage holds a special place among American submariners, serving as an 'official' pastime. The wardroom of the oldest submarine in the fleet carries RADM Dick O'Kane's personal cribbage board onboard, and upon decommissioning it is transferred to the next oldest boat."  It appears to be properly sourced, from a Navy news article.  Opinions on whether this deserves mention in this article as well? - Mark Dixon (talk) 05:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose some might think it's trivia, but I'd say it sounds like an interesting Navy tradition worth mentioning here. Add it and see if anyone objects. Rees11 (talk) 14:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Navy Tradition About O'Kane's Cribbage Board

message: I just saw this recent book at the library, seems like a logical continuation of RADM O'Kane's own two books, with more emphasis on the prisoner of war experiences of Tang's surviving crew. 
Would RADM O'Kane approve of adding it to the reference section?

replies: text: I haven't seen this book but it seems like a good addition. Better yet, check it out of the library, read it, and add any relevant material here. Rees11 (talk) 02:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Recent book, would it be worth adding in references section?

replies: text: Read the article, then read the Medal of Honor article. From there, read any associated/linked articles. You should gain a better understanding of the MoH criteria, as well as other awards crews may be eligible for, and at some point, you should have an answer for your question. Meanwhile, article talk pages are for discussing the article's content, not the subject. - wolf 07:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
