Talk:USS John C. Stennis/Archive 1

F-14 aircraft & other configurations
The Stennis probably doesn't have any 14's attached to her anymore, unless I am mistaken. aa:talk 20:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * True statement. --LeyteWolfer 09:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * How can one edit, change, or correct the "General Characteristics" block(?). Since about 2005, the JCS has possessed only two (2) phalanx Close in Weapon Systems (CIWSs), not three (3) nor four.  [A U.S. carriers network's website refers].  Also, the 2-D air search radar was changed about that same time from AN/SPS-49(V)5 to AN/SPS-49A(V)1.  I believe that correcting discrepancies, mistakes or problems, like those, would help improve the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 12:44. 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Unverified conjecture
The following statement contains original research/pov:

"In the movie The Sum of All Fears, which is based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name, the Stennis is attacked by Russian Tupolev Tu-22M bombers, suffering heavy damage from several anti-ship missiles. Although the ship is not mentioned by name, the number "74" is visible on the tower. This scene would most likely not occur in reality as the Aegis escorts would stop the ASMs before they reach the carrier."

There is no guarantee that the Aegis escorts would do so; the non-Aegis Stark was unable to stop relatively unsophisticated exocets in 1987, and the Missouri was only prevented from taking such a hit in Gulf War 1 by the British vessel HMS Gloucester, which had no doubt had the benefit of lessons learned in the Falklands War. It is quite conceivable that the Russians have, or could have (we are talking about a film, not reality, after all) missiles capable of penetrating carrier group defences. Therefore, I suggest the last sentence be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.144.132.66 (talk) 05:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Pearl Harbor
The USS John C. Stennis served as a the site of the premiere of the movie Pearl Harbor. The ship was docked in Pearl Harbor's East Loch just across from Ford Island and the location of the USS Arizona Memorial. I'm not sure if that is notable enough for this article, but I'm sure you could find a news reference. While I know that quite a few carriers have been movie sets, I don't recall one being used as an outdoor movie theater before. 214.13.141.100 17:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Cost of the JCS?
I notice a difference between the cost of the John C. as cited here ($4.5B) and on the carrier website itself, http://www.cvn74.navy.mil/about.html ($3.5B). Thulcandra (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

USS John C. Stennis in Pop Culture
Sorry User:MBK004, I'm rather new to Wikipedia, and didn't realize that my addition of the Transformers 2 movie reference wasn't appropriate for a military history article. WP:MILPOP Trystian Sky (talk) 07:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

RIM-162 ESSM
The statement that "... Stennis has NATO RIM-7 Sea Sparrow..." might be updated (2008) to include RIM-162 ESSM. 144.183.224.2 (talk) 22:24, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Australian brothels' notoriety
Wiktionary, in its article on US Navy slang, contains the following entry: "John Sore Pennis - nickname given to the aircraft carrier USS John C Stennis after making a port call in Australia and closing down all of the local brothels." The incident is indeed notorious. Does it merit mention in the Wikipedia article?-The Gnome (talk) 10:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

In popular culture
Detailing a topic's impact upon popular culture can be a worthwhile contribution to an article, provided that the content is properly sourced and consistent with policies and guidelines, such as neutral point of view, no original research, and what Wikipedia is not.

This section, however, is an indiscriminate collection of trivia or cruft. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 00:46, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Referring to ship as "she" or "her"
Referring to a ship as she or her is unnecessary personification. Wikipedia's goal is to present the truth, and the truth of the matter is that ships have no reproductive organs. English, unlike some other languages, does not tend to assign gender to most words. For example objects such as television, table, apple, car, shovel, lamp, and so on have no gender assigned.

Neutralizing a word's gender also denotes equality between the sexes. For example: Police Officer instead of policeman, Fire Fighter instead of fireman. Referring to an object as a "she" is objectifying to women. After all would it make sense to refer to the ship as "he"? I recommend that the ship be referred to as "it". MartianColony (talk) 20:26, 28 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Regardless of your opinion, in English the third person feminine personal pronoun is usually used when referring to ships. In other words "she". Also please stop spamming multiple articles with the same post. - Nick Thorne  talk  22:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Fremantle
The Age seems like a reliable source to me. It's been around for 150 years, the print edition has a circulation of 200,000 in a city of 4 million, it's got an editorial board and it seems to meet the requirements of WP:NEWSORG. UScarriers.net on the other hand doesn't seem to have anything on their web site about who they are, where they get their information, or what their editorial policies are. If the Fremantle port call is a problem, let's just remove it. Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:52, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree Kendall. UScarriers really should not be considered a reliable source. However, listing port calls is not necessary in an article unless they are significant (1st time in country, 1st time in x number of years and so on.) Llammakey (talk) 16:26, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * They're not necessary. And neither is adding blaring headlines about "US sailors with Aussie hookers". There was nothing about that in the ship's article. The port of call was Perth, and the reliable source I added confirmed that. Just because the anchorage was "near" Fremantle, which is a part of metro Perth anyway, hardly necessitates the use of that silly reference... reliable or not. - the WOLF  child  17:02, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

2015 funeral
i heard that this ship was involved in funeral. moving of some european guy from us back to europa, andy more info about this ? since it should be onylest person so fat which was honored to havee his dead body tranported to home country by us carier, as non us citizinen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.41.173.28 (talk) 17:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Well... where did you "hear" about this? If you can provide a relaible source that supports this, then maybe, just maybe, you might have something. Otherwise it's hear-say and we can't do anything with it here. - the WOLF  child  18:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Short stop in Korea
A few weeks ago, I made a quick edit adding that the carrier stopped in Korea briefly. It was later removed because the updated was poorly written and un-sourced. I'll agree that it was poorly written, but I'd like to supply a source: https://news.usni.org/2016/03/14/carrier-uss-john-c-stennis-arrives-in-korea-for-port-visit-exercises — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.243.16.210 (talk) 21:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
