Whitespace
Formatting white space must necessarily be minimized, ie. there must be a justification in each case. Otherwise, one could legitimately double the size of every article with various white space formatings.
In this case, there is no reason to add formatting white space. - 91.10.4.162 (talk) 02:40, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
jargon and PR like writing
IMO this article is full of DoD jargon and reads a bit like a PR from the DoD
Complement and crew don't match up
The article says the crew will be 2,600 approx. but it also says there'll be 3,789 enlisted crewmen. How can this be? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 01:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- I think "Complement" is being used to include the ship's air wing personnel, while "Crew" means only the actual crew required to run and operate the ship. - BilCat (talk) 01:23, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- Alright, makes sense, thanks. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 01:52, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
Metric project?
Does anyone know if this ship and the rest of the class was built using metric or not? I'm aware that a lot of current and recent past projects, such as the Lockheed Martin F-22, have been. Flanker235 (talk) 10:08, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
"Seapower-Digital" reference URLs defunct and now taken over by another party
At least this following link in the article references Seapower Magazine. Seapower Magazine does not appear to use this domain any longer. If we navigate to the URLs using Seapower-Digital as a source, it appears these have the potential to be malicious or, at the very least, not the intended resources. Wherever this source is cited, we should likely replace. Putting this here for common knowledge/heads-up.

Any issues with roll-out?
I've read of some problems with rolling out this ship, but see no mention of that here. Do we not want to address that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.128.48.6 (talk) 15:43, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- This is the class article, in the article about the ship, USS Gerald R. Ford, there are numerous issues noted. - wolf 16:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
