Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 22:15, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

title
While the title of this article is about the type of ship ("Mobile Landing Platform"), it is written almost entirely about a class of this type, the "Montford Point-class mobile landing platform". As the class doesn't have it's own main page, (the class is redirected to the lead ship), wouldn't it be appropriate to rename this article to that specific class?. Another article could then be written about the type, with the option to add info about other classes, as they come along. - the WOLF  child  09:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Is the limited Congressional action on this notable yet? Hcobb (talk) 15:38, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

"a type of amphibious assault ship"
Not true. This ship is not designed to be a combatant. Careful parsing of the supposed citation will show it will be used to free up actual amphibs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.31.204.196 (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Here's a link, if someone would be so kind as to add it: https://www.navy.mil/Press-Office/News-Stories/Article/2474454/secnav-names-future-vessels-while-aboard-historic-navy-ship/fbclid/IwAR1DNTh0icqeyjIRbjj8_ThkCIOH3vXSO0xTe3AW8TinKgMyr9zcL6T-kc4/ 67.231.66.125 (talk) 23:04, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Expeditionary Mobile Base vs Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB)
In the article, the term: "Expeditionary Mobile Base" is used for the ESB acronym when it appears that Expeditionary Sea Base is the correct definition for the ESB acronym according to the Navy. Any reason why this article uses Expeditionary Mobile Base? If so, it could use some clarification. Otherwise I suggest we update to Expeditionary Sea Base. Mekirkpa (talk) 17:06, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Possibly because the team of high school students who wrote this article doesn't understand the concept of acronyms...Just attended commissioning of USS John L. Canley (ESB 6) and can assure you that ESB stands for Expeditionary Sea Base.

dated information T-ESB
From the article USS Puller, I get the impression that the "civilian mariners" mentioned cannot be used because of the mission types, and that "T-ESB" is an outdated designation (now "ESB"). 90.186.10.91 (talk) 08:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
