The smudged photograph of Admiral Morrison
He deserves a better photo on his Wiki page. He served his country exceedingly well, (and was part of America's history) I can provide one if need be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielwilliambaldwin (talk • contribs) 23:28, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

USS Bon Homme Richard Decommissioning
"Admiral Morrison was the keynote speaker at the decommissioning ceremony for Bon Homme Richard, his first ship as an admiral, on July 3, 1971 in Washington D.C., the same day his son, Jim Morrison, died in Paris, France at age 27." Something does not match here. For multiple reasons I doubt the decommissioning ceremony occurred in Washington DC. More likely it occured on the West Coast in California. However, It it quite likely that Admiral Morrison was at this time stationed / operating from Washington D.C. 74.214.45.242 (talk) 13:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC) (WFOJ2)

Gulf of Tonkin False Flag?
The introduction of this article describes the Gulf of Tonkin Incident as a false flag operation, but the linked source does not fully support this claim. It only describes the incident as a "possible false flag operation" and claims that the United States provoked North Vietnamese forces into firing on the USS Maddox and distorted the events to build support for the war, not that the United States organized the attack and blamed it on North Vietnam. This does not meet the definition of false flag operation put forward in this article ("The term today extends beyond naval encounters to include countries that organize attacks on themselves and make the attacks appear to be by enemy nations or terrorists, thus giving the nation that was supposedly attacked a pretext for domestic repression and foreign military aggression."). I'm reverting this, but am open to discussing a productive way to incorporate this dispute into the text of the article, while still recognizing that the consensus is that the incident was not a false flag operation.
