Talk:USS Reuben James (FFG-57)

knots conversion is wrong
the convert|30|kn|mph km/h|-1 shows 30 knots as 30mph/60kmh which is not that accurate. Should be more like 35 miles/h and 56 km/h. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seifried (talk • contribs) 10:31, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

How did the USS Reuben James sink?
list of shipwrecks in 2016 and SM-6 say that it was sunk by a new variant of the SM-6 missile. BUT the section USS Reuben James (FFG-57) says that the SM-6 test successfully hit and significantly damaged the James, but did NOT sink it. That section claims it took significant further actions by other means (including the use of scuttling charges installed before the test began) I found no references that justify this claim, so I do not know the real story here. All three pages (USS Reuben James, SM-6, and shipwrecks of 2016) site the same reference, but it is advertising the success of the missile test and does not specifically say the missile sank the ship.
