Great White Fleet
Why does the "featured picture" today,  claim that the Great White Fleet voyage was in 1921-22. Thats wrong. The voyage of the Great White Fleet commenced in December 1907 and was completed in early 1909.

I would fix this myself, except I cannot determine where the text of the "featured picture"  actually comes from.Eregli bob (talk) 07:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Laid Down
I have a doubt about the date of laid down, one source quotes April 2, 1902 (navsource.org) another April 3, 1902 (Conway 1860-1905) and here May 3, 1902, who is right? Conforoa (talk) 12:36, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * May is wrong - I think I transposed the month for New Jersey with Rhode Island when I wrote the article - good catch. As for the 2nd vs the 3rd, I would guess there are contemporary reports that mention it - I've seen quite a few while trawling through old editions of Brassey's Naval Annual and similar publications.
