Explanation of copyedit

I linked some terms naval terms, and I removed some text that I thought was not needed. much of the extraneous test is better described in the linked articles and in my opinion detracted from the flow of the text in this article. Feel free to re-instate text if you disagree. -Arch dude 02:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
