Locations

[edit]

Todd Pacific Shipyds and Todd yards are two separate places. One Pacific one Atlantic, hence the fricking name. Ignorant editors linking stuff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.23.169 (talk) 04:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These two subjects should not be merged; the strike deserves its own standalone page. This was a significant event, involving thousands of union workers. There are many other less significant strikes that have their own pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by History.alex.morrow (talkcontribs) 18:26, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Total mess without much focus and misleading history

[edit]

Vigor may be the current corporate entity but the components were major shipbuilders before the late 20th century conglomerate frenzy. Basically the state now is Vigor, a list of those notable shipyards, random almost irrelevant facts (Frank Sinatra worked at one yard!), a list of those locations and some ships. The components of the current Vigor need a thorough scrub as well. A quick check leads me to agree with the first comment above; editors "grabbing" names. As is the "article" is misleading without any justice to the shipyards of the past. Links to notable ships through the redirect may be completely wrong. Following company histories back through acquisitions and mergers can be an absolute mess even for experts, but this is a miserable summary that needs correction. Shipbuilding History has expertise and has done most of the work in list and very brief summary form and is a good place to start. Palmeira (talk) 12:58, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
