Talk:Naval War College

Untitled
Although it's tempting to add a "United States" on the front, it's not part of its full formal name (unlike USNA for example), plus there seems not to be a "Naval War College" belonging to any other country. Stan 07:13, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Master of Arts for international students
I was an international student in the Naval War College (Naval Staff College, class of 2006) and the statement is true: never has the NWC given a Master Degree to an international student, something that is usual in the other Staff Colleges (Army and Air Force)of the US. Even if you choose to participate in the whole program, and you take all the exams and complete all the tasks at the same level than the American guys (well, in some cases even better) you don't get the Master Degree, something harming for the future of the international programs (the subsidized countries excluded). So there is nothing to discuss about the current content of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.141.96.53 (talk) 21:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I assume you're referring to the citation needed tag after that statement. On Wikipedia, all information should be cited from reliable sources, and any uncted info can be tagged for a citation, and removed if one is not provided. I am sure you realize that as an internet encyclopedia with open editing, anyone can claim anything, and they often do. This is one reason why WP requires Reliable Sources, as the threshold on WP is verifiability, not truth. - BillCJ (talk) 21:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Naval War College Museum
I do not support merging the article Naval War College Museum with the article on the Naval War College. The museum contains a broader scope than just the history of the Naval War College. IMHO, the museum rates a separate article. Thanks. FieldMarine (talk) 01:10, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Naval Marshal General Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.
The reference from Yamamoto's own Wikipedia page says that he was part of a delegation to NWC, not a graduate. "On 13 April 1924 at the rank of captain, he was part of the Japanese delegation visiting the U.S. Naval War College.[3]" I suggest that he be removed as a graduate from NWC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.150.213.64 (talk) 03:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

That really is an old picture of the Naval War College
Really! See http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.13974/ The picture is from the eastern passage of the Narragansett Bay passing the War College to the west. That sea wall still exists. JMOprof (talk) 01:03, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Article reads like a brochure for the school
Much of this article reads like a brochure for the Naval War College. (I just edited a section that said something like "the course offered here" or "the course that our students take," apparently copied directly from a brochure or other promotional piece published by the War College itself.) I cleaned up some of it but don't have the time to clean it all up. I can't find an appropriate template for an "improve this article" box to appear at the top of the article. Can anyone suggest an appropriate article flag or box? Thank you. Holy (talk) 17:57, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, the entire article still reads like a NWC publication (even stating "our research arm"). It's all glowing stuff about how they've expanded this or taught that.  I would not be surprised if the NWC web site had some of this material word-for-word.  This could be an interesting subject, wish I had time for it.  --Bridgecross (talk) 14:25, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
