[edit] Article size
Per WP:SPLIT should this article not get split as it is a whopping 108 Kb in size and almost certainly should be divided, anyone ideas on how this could be achieved? Mo ainm~Talk 21:13, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed that the page is too large– I think that all the information presented is pertinent and gives a comprehensive idea of such a large organization and should not be omitted altogether. The best approach to take I see is to move the majority of prose into the secondary articles and paraphrase more effectively here. For the most part the secondary articles exist (e.g. History of the United States Navy, Equipment of the United States Navy, etc.). A glaring exception is the personnel section (Personnel of the United States Navy), which as is seems too lengthy for the main page but not comprehensive enough for the topic. I will put the split notice up. Minnecologies (talk) 18:52, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Awards
Was the entire Navy actually granted the three ribbons shown on the Article - PUC, NUC, MUC? kcylsnavS{screechharrass} 01:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Uniforms
Please be aware that under the "Uniforms" section someone stated that "Navy Working Uniform (NWU) to replace the wash khakis, coveralls, dungarees, and aviation working greens currently in use". The dungarees were faded out of Naval service in 1998 and were replaced by utilities. It now states "Navy Working Uniform (NWU) to replace the wash khakis, coveralls, utilities, and aviation working greens currently in use". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.120.39.217 (talk) 01:07, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
[edit] The numbers game
http://armedservices.house.gov/index.cfm/files/serve?File_id=c5e1d6af-997c-4f1f-add2-fb3115edffcb After that, as older ships were retired faster than new ones were brought into service, the fleet would fall to a low of 288 ships in 2032 before increasing to 301 ships by 2040. Thus, the current plan would never achieve its implied goal of 322 or 323 ships.
- Worth a mention here? Or perhaps over at 600-ship Navy? Hcobb (talk) 02:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Overseas bases
A map showing navy bases outside the 50 states would be helpful, especially if it also shows the command or fleet jurisdictions. -- Beland (talk) 17:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
