Wikilinked dates

Not quite sure why all the dates in this article are wikilinked (since there are no entries for the vessel on the lists for those dates), but there should be some standardization for how they're displayed. Some are written as "10 March, 1965" and some as March 10, 1965. There also appear to be several paragraphs where somebody wrote notes to remind themselves to put other information in! For example "Maybe fill in the blanks, the ship operated out of Guam and Pearl Harbor" which is down towards the end of the article... MeegsC | Talk 12:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
