SS Minnesotan[edit]

Passed --Eurocopter (talk) 14:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating this for A-Class because I believe it meets the requirements. — Bellhalla (talk) 23:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good. --Brad (talk) 11:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great article. I do have one question though, that applies to the Ohioan as well. The article states the the contract set a maximum cost of $640,000, but both ships' final price was above that. What happened? - Hargrimm | ^Θ 23:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The final cost included the financing (interest) charges. — Bellhalla (talk) 01:38, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Wonderful article. Can this article be expanded further or has it reached its limit? (Forgive lack of expertise in naval realm) Geoff Plourde (talk) 03:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Cla68, has it right. From available sources, it's pretty much at its limit, but if one were to write a book on the ship, for example, I'm sure that many more primary sources could be found. — Bellhalla (talk) 11:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I suspect that primary sources (port logs, naval escort ships logs, etc) might have more information on her movements over her career but I think the secondary sources used are excellent and provide enough information for a an encyclopedic entry on the ship's history.
