Pennsylvania armored cruiser class versus battleship class
editI reverted the article to remove the following sentence:
According to the following article, all were not scrapped between 1930 and 1931 because the U.S.S. Arizona was of this class of ship. https://www.facebook.com/223598107688462/posts/2012994095415512/
First of all, the USS Arizona (BB-39) was a member of the Pennsylvania BATTLESHIP class, not the Pennsylvania Armored Cruiser class, which this article is about. The preceding paragraph in the article even explains that the cruisers were renamed after cities to free up the names for the battleships. The Facebook-linked warhistoryonline.com article refers to the "Pennsylvania class of warships", which is the cause of the confusion between classes (and reason enough not to consider it a valid reference).
In addition, (1) format: the article places references at the bottom, not linked within the text, (2) tone: it sounds like the article is having an argument with itself, and (3) the linked Facebook post is not a reference, but a link to yet another site.
