I wrote this article for Wikipedia during 2006. There have been few changes by others, and they are minor. I left in the red links, hoping that Citizendium would have articles about them soon. I'm willing to bring all or most of them in from Wikipedia, changing that which should be changed. Louis F. Sander 21:24, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

I've written 100+ Wikipedia articles about similar ships, and I will be happy to bring them over here, once I've figured out whether they are wanted, how much they need to be changed in order to be acceptable here, etc. Louis F. Sander 21:34, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Removed "Article from Wikipedia" tag.

The original source of the article is DANFS, not Wikipedia. Louis did more research, rewrote the DANFS article (their text is a bit obscure at times) and modified it himself, as far as I can tell, and he can publish it without reference to Wikipedia. I am making a post about this kind of issue on the forum. Christo Muller (Talk) 18:47, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

I came by and added it again before seeing the talk page. I've noted DANFS as the original source on the page, to keep this from happening again. Petréa Mitchell 11:18, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
