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!

This will include the addition of photos. I have abundant historical information concerning Northwind from official, and crewmember sources. I also have extensive verifiable references for said material. I anticipate starting this project in 2010. Please share your thoughts or ideas. Maxarre: what do you say ? Tjlynnjr (talk) 03:02, 14 June 2009 (UTC) -- Please see email below. I am considering deleting the reference from DANFS regarding the grounding of NORTHWIND at Dundas Harbour, Devon Island, NT on 27 July 1946. I searched National Archives, but found no logbooks for this time period. Several logbooks are scattered around at various museums, but, none of these cover same period. At this point I am thinking the DANFS entry on this is an error. Next stop US Coast Guard Museum Northwest, Seattle Washington.Tjlynnjr (talk) 07:41, 17 February 2011 (UTC) ///BEGIN MESSAGE///From: Price, Scott (Scott.T.Price@uscg.mil) Sent: Thu 12/30/10 3:07 AM To: tjlynnjr@hotmail.com Hello: Nothing in our files about this grounding; your best bet for official confirmation would be her logbook entry for that day, copies are available through the National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/contact/inquire-form.html Scott T.

This format is commonly used for reports, orders, award narratives, and most importantly; signals/communications, etc. It is used in the Canadian and American forces. Examples are abundant. Tjlynnjr (talk) 01:20, 3 March 2011 (UTC) -- Sorry folks, had my comments mis-arranged; edited to show "newest entry last". Just learned of this error today.Tjlynnjr (talk) 07:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC) -- REFERENCE IN LINE work now in progress, I reckon. Finally got it sorted out by "sink or swim", I guess. How's about a nice hot cuppa tea and a "Hard Roll" ?Tjlynnjr (talk) 16:49, 18 March 2011 (UTC).
