Captain Howard D. Bode[edit]

Captain Howard D. Bode deserves his own Wikipedia page since he was so important in the Battle of Savo Island. Ultimately he killed himself when he learned that the board of inquiry was going to hold him liable for the defeat at Savo Island.

"Admiral Hepburn" suddenly appears in the narrative. Who is he?71.230.201.203 (talk) 14:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?[edit]

For more than four years now, this article has contained the following --" conducted gunnery exercises preliminary to the annual fleet problem off the California coast." (first sentence, third par). What is the "annual fleet problem"? Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 20:42, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's the same as saying "the annual fleet training exercise", not the "traditional" meaning of "problem" (i.e., every year at about the same time, the fleet couldn't manage to raise steam in their boilers for some unknown reason :) ). I hope that answers your question. Parsecboy (talk) 20:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The specific exercise was Fleet Problem XIII, held off the coast of California in 1932. It has now been linked to, hopefully, provide some context. — Bellhalla (talk) 21:38, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better image in German Wikipedia[edit]

Hi! German Wikipedia has an additional, better image of the ship: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:USS_Chicago_(CL-29).jpg -- 89.199.55.113 (talk) 13:20, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copying?[edit]

This article has a copying score of more than 85: [1]. The section about the ship's sinking has a particularly strong resemblance to another webpage (historycentral.com/navy/cruiser/Chicago2.html). --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
