"Effects" section slightly unclear about what's on what ship

edit

The first paragraph starts describing USS Atlanta (CL-104) but ends with the sentence, "The entire DLG 16 deck-house ..." which is apparently about the England (DLG-22) or Dale (DLG-19). Since the second paragraph is about England, it would make sense to move the parts relevant to that ship (or Dale) out of the first paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User5910 (talkcontribs) 06:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

The test dlg deckhouse was actually installed on the Atlanta for testing! You can clear up that part if you wishCrazytrain411 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:45, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

What was the rationale for stationing personnel on board the Atlanta during the test (and the underwater blast that preceded the test)? Obviously the ship was armoured, and no-one was hurt, but it seems an unusually risky decision. Especially given that e.g. the article implies that the deck carried ASROC rockets and torpedos in addition to a mass of live electrical gear. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:44, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
