Talk:USS Bowen

Name?
I am not sure this ship was named after Admiral Bowen, given that no other officer of the era received such an honor, as far as I know. Might it have been named after an earlier Bowen? Please provide a source for this info. Thanks. Ssvonavec 03:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

USS Bowen was named after Vice Admiral Harold G. Bowen, Sr. (1883-1965), not after his son, Vice Admiral Harold G. Bowen, Jr. Source: Commissioning ceremony press kit. --88.14.179.157 (talk) 18:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Janel Hopkins Boiler Technician 3rd Class USS BOWEN (FF-1079 and FFT-1079) Why is there no mention of the history that was made when allowing 10-12 females serve aboard a Fast Frigate combatant ship, starting in February 1992? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.67.225.248 (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
