Just out of boot camp in San Diego and spent two weeks at home in Idaho. Reported to Treasure Island for my orders some time in April 1951. As a transit I boarded the Windham Bay at Oakland, California. Windham was my first time aboard a Navy carrier. We sailed under the Golden Gate on the way to San Diego to Pickup troupes and planes. 18 days aboard a slow carrier to Japan. There I departed and was flown to the Phillipines to my assignment, The USS Bisbee PF 46 and later to the USS New Jersey BB62. M Division, #3 engine room. Charles E. Ireton MM3 Served 12-28-50 to 10-28-54

- Design and description
- "Standardized with her sister ships, she was 512 ft 3 in (156.13 m) long overall, at the waterline, she was 490 ft (150 m) long, she had a beam of 65 ft 2 in (19.86 m), at her widest point, this was 108 ft (33 m), and a draft of 20 ft 9 in (6.32 m). " - Since one of these list items includes a comma, set the different measurements apart with semicolons, not commas.
- Service history
- "which had recently been secured" - Linking only secured to the battle violates MOS:EGG, I'd recommend expanding the piped link to include the whole phrase of "had recently been secured"
- Link or gloss what CVE stands for (not the hull number, the other usage)
- Infobox
- The exact dates of the second decommission and the selling for scrap aren't cited anywhere.
- Selling for scrap is cited in Hazegray and DANFs.
- Images
- "spent away from the frontline carriers." - is MOS:SANDWICHed between the first two images, this needs corrected.
- The final image cuts way below the actual text itself. Honestly, there's one too many image in the article, so one needs removed.
- Layout
- Nix the See also section, it's empty
- Move the portal bar to between the commons cat link and the top template
Sources and image licensing look acceptable enough. Placing on hold. Hog Farm Bacon 00:28, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Hog Farm: I've addressed your points. Stikkyy t/c 06:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Stikkyy: Those two dates need cited inline. We need the exact date, not just the month for the one, and the whole date for the other. Hog Farm Bacon 13:18, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Hog Farm: It seems like you're correct. Both of the dates seem to have been strapped on without any sourcing. Everything else including said dates seem to be derivatives of the article. I've removed the dates. Stikkyy t/c 18:56, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- Looks good now, passing. Hog Farm Bacon 19:03, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
