Basis for the Maines? edit

This claim seems rather dubious - from Friedman, it seems that the only influence on the Maine design was to spur an increase to 18 knots - and it's also worth pointing out that the tender from NNS&DC was accepted, not the one from Cramp & Son. Parsecboy (talk) 20:38, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've removed the claim - seems McLaughlin is confused, since the Cramp design wasn't chosen for the Maine class. Parsecboy (talk) 12:32, 7 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
