Diving info
I removed this text from the entry, as it is unsourced and questionable. I couldn't find anything indicating three people had died and the information about the dive site is questionable. Bangabandhu (talk) 20:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Basic Divers – Lower than average visibility (due to proximity to the Olongapo river mouth) and deeper water makes this site more suitable for divers who have gained experience beyond entry-level training. The top of the wreck lies in 17-22m depth, covered in soft and whip corals with many reef fish. Lying slightly deeper (~59 ft deep)divers can examine the uppermost barrel of an 8 in primary gun. The 361 ft length gives plenty of area to observe as corals, sponges and fish life that have had over 60 years to convert it into home. Scorpionfish are common around this wreck and divers are reminded that these fish are dangerous to touch.

Experienced Wreck Divers – More advanced divers can explore the propeller, conning tower and deck areas. There are some areas of relatively easy penetration, with open-spaces and sufficient height to stay clear of major silt deposits. These include the following. The mess deck (2nd deck down) has an interesting penetration 197 ft with portholes above allowing light, but no exit. The boiler room can be explored within recreation diving limits. Due to the nature of the wreck, with low light/viz and the risk of silt disturbance; redundant gas supplies and guideline deployment training are recommended for penetrations.

Three divers have died exploring inside Rochester - which indicates significant hazards and the need for advanced technical wreck training. Divers with appropriate decompression and advanced/technical wreck penetration training can access the engine room, machinery spaces and lower decks. These are in excellent condition, with huge pipes, machinery and valve wheels. Spaces can be extremely confined, with many restrictions and high risk of silt-out. Penetration is generally made on twin tanks, whilst deploying a constant guideline to the exit. Both engine room entrances are posted with notices warning of the dangers to the untrained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bangabandhu (talk • contribs) 20:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Panzerkreuzer USS NEW YORK picture
I am unsure of the coding necessary to explain that the portion of the picture titled "Panzerkreuzer USS NEW YORK" dealing with the main article, is actually "C" of the diagram pictured ("Querschnitt des Panzerkreuzers", et al... a cross-section of the hull of the USS NEW YORK). The rest of the diagram has other ships, including and especially an Indiana class battleship, which - to my eye - is far more noticeable than the relevant cross-section is. Thus, someone more knowledgeable in modern wiki coding might be able to call attention to the relevance than I can. Thanks.
