Mexican-American War
This paragraph uses the term "SecNav," in itself an error, as such military abbreviations are always in all caps: "SECNAV." More to the point, though, the abbreviation is a modern contrivance not seen long before World War II. It's use in anything but a military communication is inappropriate--doubly so in a context pre-dating it by a century. This should be changed to the simple and straightforward "Secretary of the Navy," and I have done so. Altgeld (talk) 17:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
