Where was this ship built? edit

Where was this ship built? What is the connection with Pennsylvania? The article does not say. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:42, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

It is in the infobox: William Cramp and Sons, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. But I do agree that the prose is lacking this crucial element. -MBK004 06:08, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
The only two relations with Pennsylvania are that the ship was built there (as MBK004 pointed out) and after its second decommission in 1914 it was moored there together with all the other obsolete battleships. I will add something to the prose about it being build in Philadelphia, but to be honest I think this lies outside the Pennsylvania projects scope (especially with the separate Wikipedia:WikiProject Philadelphia).Yoenit (talk) 09:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well Written and Informative edit

It's not often (indeed rarely) that the above can be said about a Wiki article, but these do apply to this one. Good job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.61.140 (talk) 15:51, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
