Thank you for the touch up -- it's starting to look pretty good. I like the subsections on the year.
Would you mind uploading a photo? There's some photos at http://www.usni.org/Photos/Thumbnail%20Images/1/4729-T.jpg and http://www.usni.org/Photos/Thumbnail%20Images/11/16197-T.jpg you might need permission from the usni.org and this one is really neat: http://photos1.blogger.com/img/256/3276/400/USS%20LAWS%20DD-558-o1.jpg [User:209.178.162.175]/[User:209.178.165.58]
- I'd like to have a photo, but my usual sources, http://www.navsource.org and http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usn-name.htm didn't have any which were clearly public domain. The website http://usslaws.blogspot.com/ has some good ones. Can you get permission to use one? In my opinion, #13, #3, #5, or #7 would be best for the infobox, though the article is long enough to add that dramatic top one further down.
- Maybe someone at the reunion has a picture he'd be willing to share?
- I went ahead and uploaded one from Navsource. Because any images taken by a sailor while on duty is considered in the public domain i think it is safe to assume this would fall into that category. It is highly unlikely anyone other than a commissioned sailor on active duty would have taken the image I uploaded. --ScottyBoy900Q 05:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Alexander Laws into USS Laws (DD-558)
editAlexander Laws does not seem to meet WP:NSOLDIER or WP:BASIC on his own, but the story would fit nicely into the article on the ship named after him. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:52, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Merge per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Archive 159#having a military ship named after you proves notability Mztourist (talk) 03:30, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 09:25, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
