Hobson ↔ Frank E. Evans
Hi. Last October, you added "See also" links between USS Hobson (DD-464) and USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754). What's the connection? —WWoods (talk) 21:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Both were sunk in collisions with aircraft carriers during maneuvers. DragonflyDC (talk) 03:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Usage of File:Saigon-hubert-van-es.jpg at Hubert van Es
Hello. I've reverted your addition of a rationale for use at Hubert van Es of the image File:Saigon-hubert-van-es.jpg, and removed the image from that article. It isn't necessary to display the image on the author's article in this case when the image is prominently featured elsewhere (see Fall of Saigon).
