Huh?[edit]

Besides the silly article title referring to her totally clerical post-decommissioning redesignation of CL 18, the article's sole external link takes one to the photo page for USS Tacoma (C 20) - oh excuse me, USS Tacoma (CL 20) snicker, snicker...

USS Chattanooga (CL-18) → USS Chattanooga (C-16) – Ship was never known as CL-18 while commissioned – Pennsy22 (talk) 04:12, 11 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 13:22, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pennsy22: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:09, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With ships that change numbers, are we supposed to use the first-used number, or the last-used number, or which number? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:06, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose unrecognizable jargon disambiguation, especially where it is not constant/fixed. Prefer instead USS Chattanooga (launched 1903) or just USS Chattanooga (1903). --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:18, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
