Images

WP discourages images being placed on the page in such a way that a narrow column of text is squeezed between them. I think it wreaks havoc for users with their computers at certain settings. Also, images on the left side of the page cannot be place immediately below a section heading. The section heading and the first paragraph must be aligned at the left. Also, many of the images in the box to the right of the lead are placed elsewhere in the article. This needs to be addressed. Keep the images in the box and delete the duplicates. You might consider placing all the images of ships in a gallery at the foot of the page. IMHO, too many distracting images in this article, thus making the article difficult to read and giving the page an "unprofessional" look. ItsLassieTime (talk) 00:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice and good advice may I add. I removed some no-essential images, plus moved the placement of others. Thank you once more. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
