It seems there is some redundancy. This 2006 start-class article is about the same ship as the 2008 start-class article USS Wakefield. The military classification follows the 2008 start-class USS Mount Vernon, by the same author, that is the same ship as the 2006 start-class article SS Washington.

I agree. I'm going to put up a merger template. 174.0.253.201 (talk) 14:23, 8 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
