Talk:USS Aaron Ward (DD-483)

Possible copyright violation
All of the content on this page seems to be very similar to that found at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/a1/aaron_ward-ii.htm. Is this a copyright violation on our part, their part, or did the same author write both pages? --Danaman5 19:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This article is basically taken from what is known as the DANFS or The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, which is essentially a log and ship history created by the US Navy. Since the Navy is a branch of the United States government, all of its works are in the public domain and hence not under copyright.  You can also check out Template:PD-USGov-Military-Navy as this is the common template used for tagging navy images.  Eventhough that template is for images the same rights apply.  This is why these articles also have Template:DANFS included in them as well.  -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 20:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that. --Danaman5 03:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

The map of IBS is incorrect re wreck locations
The map of Iron Bottom Sound in this article is woefully inaccurate for most of the wrecks depicted and should be taken with several grains of the proverbial salt. (AW is one that is depicted correctly though.) KevinVD (talk) 07:09, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
