editWhen referring to a ship, putting "USS" in front is only necessary when there are another navy's ships around, and is otherwise mildly deprecated. As is putting "the" in front of the bare name. See
- Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships)#Referring to ships
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships#"The" before the ship's name
Also, while there's a little confusion about whether the ship's name is Sealion or Sea Lion, e.g. [1], there's no source I'm aware of that gives her name as Sealion II. Indeed, off the top of my head, I can't think of any USN ship with an ordinal number. The only such are things like HMS King George V, where the number is part of the namesake's name. —wwoods 17:30, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The ashtray sitting currently on top of my monitor shows "USS Sealion II" clearly. I can find you a few sources that refer to it as the Sealion II if you'd like, [2] (see top of page), [3] (21 November 1944: The KONGO and the URAKAZE are sunk by LtCdr (later Vice Admiral) Eli Reich's USS SEALION II (SS-315).), [4] ... thats 3 do I need to provide you more?

- How odd. Okay, make that "I can't think of any [other] USN ship with an ordinal number."
- There certainly isn't any concensus in favor of Sealion II. The Naval Vessel Register, DANFS, the (a?) website for the ship, subnet.com, navsource.com, and fleetsubmarine.com all call her Sealion, though the last has a " (2)" to indicate she's the second of that name. I suggest that while some people called her Sealion II--presumably because Captain Reich was a veteran of the first Sealion--and that name made its way into some accounts and reports, that doesn't make it the correct, official name.

- Well the first link I posted as 'proof' if you will is from the navy.mil domain. I guess we should just agree to disagree then. ALKIVAR™ 22:11, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Sealion picture
editFor this article, you may wish to get a picture of Sealion from circa WWII. http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/08315.htm has one marked "USN Archive photo": http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0831509.jpg . (It's not the clearest, which is why I uploaded the 1956 one with the helicopter.) —wwoods 07:20, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Naval Undersea Museum
editThe museum's website says it's in Keyport: http://www.keyportmuseum.cnrnw.navy.mil/location.htm#Map . —wwoods 08:14, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
