USS Blueback (SS-581)‎

Welcome to Wikipedia.

You have made an edit to USS Blueback (SS-581) in which you make certain assertions about the fish for which the ship is named. The original text is supported, albeit not perfectly, by a source other than a declaration by a Wikipedia editor. Because your edit was not supported by a reliable source, I reverted your edit.

If you know of a reliable second source to support where Blueback got her name, then you are encouraged to change the article with an appropriate citation so that others may verify what you write.

Got your email. I think that this conversation should continue at Talk:USS Blueback (SS-581)#Name.

Got your second email. I have responded at Talk:USS Blueback (SS-581)#Name which is where all further talk should happen. No more emails, ok?

So, here's the thing. Naval history command is shut down indefinitely. I took a picture of the USS Blueback SS 581 commissioning plaque, which is permanently affixed to the bulkhead in the ward room. Among other info, such as date keel layed, date commissioned, etc it says the Blueback is named for the salmon. What is the best way to pass this proof on so that Trappist the monk will be satisfied?

I now have some additional information to support my position on the USS Blueback's name. As such I want to make my original edits and have them stay. I would like to make the same changes to the info on the SS326 Blueback. My two sources and what they state are: 1. As stated above, the USS Blueback SS581 commissioning plaque is permanently attached to the bulkhead of the ward room aboard the Blueback It states, "USS BLUEBACK SS 581 Is named for the Blueback Salmon" Then dates of keel laying and commissioning.

2. My second piece of evidence is found in the memorial booklet printed by the US Navy for the decommissioning ceremony (of SS581). There are no page numbers, but the 2nd sheet from the cover page has a picture of the first Blueback SS326. Under the picture is a brief summarized history and this, "Both ships were named after the most numerous of west coast salmon species. The blueback salmon averages five pounds in weight and is colored bright blue with silver sides. The fish is sometimes known as redfish or sockeye salmon."

You should present that information at Talk:USS Blueback (SS-581)#Name, not here, so other interested editors can find it. Since Wikipedia requires published sources, the commissioning plaque probably won't help much. How could others look up the memorial booklet? Huon (talk) 02:24, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
