Objecitivy[edit]

Don't you think it's all written way too Hollywood and not really encyclopaedic style? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.78.86.155 (talk) 01:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Came here to say that. "The gunners topside were ducking machine gun bullets and shrapnel, training their guns by sheer guts and sweat"; "...which won the great Battle of the Coral Sea"; "New Orleans, veteran of the battle that halted Japanese expansion southward, had now played a significant role protecting her carrier in the great victory that turned back Japan's eastward movement and heavily crippled her naval air arm in a decisive battle"; and I'm only half way through the article. 155.201.35.66 (talk) 13:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
