This page is in the process of being Wikified to match the layout of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier articles. I am also adding official US Navy and US Coast Guard information. Thanks for your patience while I add this content, and if you have any comments or suggestion please leave them here! Maxarre 18:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Armament?

The plastic model indicates at least one forward gun turret with two tubes, yet article doesn't mention any.120.18.56.147 (talk) 23:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The model is not the Burton Island, which was completed with a single 5". It's either the Eastwind prior to 1951, or more likely, the Northwind, which retained twin mount until at least 1964.

In the past the model was sold as USCG, with a white hull and brown decks. Why the change in service and color?Sammy D III (talk) 12:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
