Tandem Thrust

The name of the exercise in which the Oklahoma City was sunk was Tandem Thrust. It took place near Guam, in March 1999.

Removal of Footnotes Flag

I removed the footnotes flag because it was annoying and somewhat incorrect. Like the vast majority of articles on US warships, this article is nearly a verbatim version of the ship's entry in DANFS. Sometimes Wikpedia's obsessive footnoting style works well, but here it doesn't. To use it, you'd have to footnote every sentence. A possible solution, one that I am going to try to see what the reaction is, is to say at the beginning "Unless otherwise noted, all information below is from...". But back to the big issue. Most US ship articles are little more or nothing more than the DANFS entry. If this one is flagable, then probably hundreds more are. If we are to flag, we should do it consistently. And given that their probably are hundreds, do we want all those flags hanging around forever? Busaccsb (talk) 17:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ARM missile shot

What is the reference for the 1971 date for the RIM-8H ARM missile shot? What was the date of the shot? Contact me through this URL: http://www.okieboat.com/Contact%20page.html Prhays (talk) 00:42, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Title change

I wanted to edit the title of this page from USS Oklahoma City (CL-91) to USS Oklahoma City (CL-91/CLG-5/CG-5), but could not edit the title.

I served on the USS Oklahoma City (CG-5) between 1977-1979. But when I looked it up on the web, I only found your reference to USS Oklahoma City (CL-91) and NOT (CG-5) and so I thought it was a different ship until actually looking into the article.

Thus I recommend changing the title to include all of her nomenclatures CL-91/CLG-5/CG-5.
