Talk:USS John C. Stennis

F-14 aircraft

The Stennis probably doesn't have any 14's attached to her anymore, unless I am mistaken. ... aa:talk 20:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Unverified conjecture

The following statement contains original research/pov:

"In the movie The Sum of All Fears, which is based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name, the Stennis is attacked by Russian Tupolev Tu-22M bombers, suffering heavy damage from several anti-ship missiles. Although the ship is not mentioned by name, the number "74" is visible on the tower. This scene would most likely not occur in reality as the Aegis escorts would stop the ASMs before they reach the carrier. "

There is no guarantee that the Aegis escorts would do so; the non-Aegis Stark was unable to stop relatively unsophisticated exocets in 1987, and the Missouri was only prevented from taking such a hit in Gulf War 1 by the British vessel HMS Gloucester, which had no doubt had the benefit of lessons learned in the Falklands War. It is quite conceivable that the Russians have, or could have (we are talking about a film, not reality, after all) missiles capable of penetrating carrier group defences. Therefore, I suggest the last sentence be deleted. http://cricketandcivilisation.blogspot.com

Pearl Harbor

The USS John C. Stennis served as a the site of the premiere of the movie Pearl Harbor. The ship was docked in Pearl Harbor's East Loch just across from Ford Island and the location of the USS Arizona Memorial. I'm not sure if that is notable enough for this article, but I'm sure you could find a news reference. While I know that quite a few carriers have been movie sets, I don't recall one being used as an outdoor movie theater before. 214.13.141.100 17:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Cost of the JCS?

I notice a difference between the cost of the John C. as cited here ($4.5B) and on the carrier website itself, http://www.cvn74.navy.mil/about.html ($3.5B). Thulcandra (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

USS John C. Stennis in Pop Culture

Sorry User:MBK004, I'm rather new to Wikipedia, and didn't realize that my addition of the Transformers 2 movie reference wasn't appropriate for a military history article. WP:MILPOP Trystian Sky (talk) 07:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

RIM-162 ESSM

The statement that "... Stennis has NATO RIM-7 Sea Sparrow..." might be updated (2008) to include RIM-162 ESSM. 144.183.224.2 (talk) 22:24, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Australian brothels' notoriety

Wiktionary, in its article on US Navy slang, contains the following entry: "John Sore Pennis - nickname given to the aircraft carrier USS John C Stennis after making a port call in Australia and closing down all of the local brothels." The incident is indeed notorious[1]. Does it merit mention in the Wikipedia article?-The Gnome (talk) 10:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Referring to ship as "she" or "her"

Referring to a ship as she or her is unnecessary personification. Wikipedia's goal is to present the truth, and the truth of the matter is that ships have no reproductive organs. English, unlike some other languages, does not tend to assign gender to most words. For example objects such as television, table, apple, car, shovel, lamp, and so on have no gender assigned.

Neutralizing a word's gender also denotes equality between the sexes. For example: Police Officer instead of policeman, Fire Fighter instead of fireman. Referring to an object as a "she" is objectifying to women. After all would it make sense to refer to the ship as "he"? I recommend that the ship be referred to as "it".
