There is inconsistency in this article concerning the increase in speed due to the shift from oars to a screw propeller. Is there disagreement between sources?
First Sub
The opening paragraph says the Alligator and Turtle are both first, but this can't be true. It needs to be clarified more explicitly. Rlevse 19:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Location ?
I looked at the Submarine Photo Index at the bottom of the Alligator article. Can't quite tell if they've actually found her yet (off Cape Hatteras)...Anybody know?? 71.68.55.97 (talk) 03:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
"USS" Alligator?
The title of the article is "USS Alligator," but the opening text states, "It was never commissioned so it cannot be referred to as "USS Alligator." If this is true, shouldn't the name of the article be changed? --ExarPalantas (talk) 00:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
