Maersk
Maersk has reflagged one ship that now waves the U.S. flag. It has to ships that are going to be reflagged the wear the U.S. flag. The first ship that has been reflagged can carry 19,600 dead weight ton. Once reflaged it was put into the U.S. flage program. Maersk had been acused of grossly overcharging the U.S. government's Defense department. The justice department said that Maersk charge the military above a set price and add may unwarranted late fees. Maersk stated that because it was war time it was alright that they may have lost some documents. In the end Maersk is settling the suit by paying the U.S. government $31.9 million.

Evaluation of Article
March 2, 2012 Depth Sounding Wikipedia and the Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History never seem to disagree on any fact they provide. Wikipedia has much less information then the Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History. Some of the facts to be found in Wikipedia could not be located in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History and the same can be said about the opposite. A great example of something that Wikipedia talks about and the other encyclopedia does not is expressions that define certain measurements. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History contains large amounts of more information on this subject then Wikipedia. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History’s largest amount of information that Wikipedia does not contain is it talks about the history and the way soundings have developed. After reading the Wikipedia article “Wikipedia: Identifying reliable sources,” All four sources seem to be reliable. NOAA is a very well-known organization with in the government it stands for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Oxford English Dictionary is about as well-known as the dictionary. The fact that both of these sources are well-known and that they are known to be good sources increases the unlikely hood that either of the sources would contain false information. The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea may not be as well-known as the other two but it is still significantly well-known by the community as a whole. I find that all the sources provided for this article are all extremely reliable sources. In the introduction of the Depth Sounding article the writers brought out statements that were never developed in the body of the article such as NOAA, The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and the expression “Deep Six” considered to be notable. On the other hand the expression “Mark Twain” which was mentioned after “Deep Six” has its entire history write about. The mention of echo sounding technology and its techniques should have no place with in the article because it has nothing to do with the old way of doing it by using a rope and lead. One place the piece of modern technology is mentioned after expression of the English language where it says the expressions live today in echo sounding and goes on to explain what it means. Lastly the size of the body and the introduction are not much different which give the feeling of redundancy in the article and makes it feel dry.
