[edit] Alignment

I came across this in USS Bang (SS-385), on Firefox browsers the flags are offset. I'm not sure how this can be resolved or if anyone else sees this problem, but a work around seems to be to a border around the other flag. I've seen this offset on several ship articles. --Dual Freq 17:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I tried MSIE 6 and these look no different except the top has a border, same with Opera 9.02. I guess it's just a Firefox 1.5.0.8 issue, still very annoying. --Dual Freq 17:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Choice of year?

It's supposed to be the last year the ship was commissioned (USS), or in service (USNS), right? Not the strike date?

That's right. For example, for a ship that was decommissioned in 1946, kept in reserve for 30 years, and struck in the 1970s, I really think the 1946 flag is much more appropriate than the 1970 one. TomTheHand (talk) 19:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
