Callsign

First paragraph third sentence states that the USS George H. W. Bush's callsign is Avenger. That is not correct according to the info block. The callsign is NGHW. Avenger is the nickname. Not sure how to edit when there are links in the sentence or I would have fixed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.70.122 (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CVN-77

The title should include (CVN-77), as all other US aircraft carriers include the cvn Helpfulguy101 (talk) 19:48, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It should, but per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(ships)#cite_note-DAB-1, it doesn't. Some of us have been trying for years to get this overturned, but it's been a huge battle that hasn't succeeded yet. BilCat (talk) 00:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bro.

why did you put genders for ships 💀 MJGTMKME123 (talk) 11:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

Should the article name be USS George H. W. Bush as per namesake or am I missing something? Tupsumato (talk) 18:55, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tupsumato: There's a hidden note in the article wikitext that says: "According to the U.S. Navy, the name is spelled "George H.W. Bush" (with no space between the H and the W)". That has some support on the official Twitter account, at least. But... the Naval Vessel Register definitely has a space between the initials, albeit without periods. We should probably be applying our manual of style here, which specifies that there should be a space between the initials. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 08:25, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I already suspected the explanation was something like this. Tupsumato (talk) 15:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
