This article is basically taken from what is known as the DANFS or The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, which is essentially a log and ship history created by the US Navy. Since the Navy is a branch of the United States government, all of its works are in the public domain and hence not under copyright. You can also check out Template:PD-USGov-Military-Navy as this is the common template used for tagging navy images. Eventhough that template is for images the same rights apply. This is why these articles also have Template:DANFS included in them as well. -- malo(tlk)(cntrbtns)20:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
