Verification needed
It seems unlikely that the full load displacement is only 1000 tons more than normal displacement. Also date (1919-2012) is obviously wrong.Pennsy22 (talk) 06:09, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * After checking Janes and Friedman, the displacement appears to be correct. Parsecboy appears to have corrected to date problem.Pennsy22 (talk) 13:47, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed - if you had bothered to check the source first, we could have avoided that. Parsecboy (talk) 13:53, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Some of us don't carry all of our reference books with us all the time, I was pointing out things that looked wrong so they could be looked at, a simple acknowledgement here would have cleared them up.Pennsy22 (talk) 14:06, 29 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I'd have thought reverting the first tag and fixing the second would have done as much. Parsecboy (talk) 14:29, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Armament as AA/missile test ship
I'm planning to add info from Friedman's battleship book, pp. 402-403, about Mississippi's armament as AG-128 to the "Postwar service" subsection. I also plan to mention there that in some references she has the hull classification symbol "EAG-128". I do not plan any changes to the infobox. Just a heads-up in case there is some reason this info isn't already there. RobDuch (talk) 04:54, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Go right ahead - I probably just forgot to look there. Parsecboy (talk) 14:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
