"other ships" tag not appropriate in a ship-class article
This article includes the "other ships" tag, "For other ships of the same name, see USS Lewis and Clark." That tag is certainly appropriate for the article about the lead ship of this class, and that article indeed has it. But it doesn't seem to belong in this article, about the class.

My expectation is that people who confuse the USNS Lewis and Clark with, say, the similarly-named ballistic missile submarine might find the "other ships" tag helpful, but anybody who doesn't know the difference between a particular submarine and a class of surface ships needs more explaining than a tag can provide.

For this reason, I'm going to take the tag out. I trust that I can rely on my fellow editors to revert my change if they think it's a mistake.
