Info box "Colors"?

To what does the info box "colors= red, yellow, white, black, blue" relate to? Unless there is some reason for the entry, I propose to remove it in 14 days. --TGC55 (talk) 14:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Both Lake City Army Ammunition Plant and Lake City Ammunition Plant describe the same facility. As Lake City Army Ammunition Plant is both more complete, has a much longer edit history, and is the older of the two articles, it would make sense for the content to merged there, with Lake City Ammunition Plant redirected to it. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 23:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Underground section

I don't have any real evidence of this, but maybe someone else does. Both my father and grandfather worked here in the days of Olin, and my dad has alluded to an underground section of the plant. Apparently it contains all the same manufacturing equipment and is designed to be used in case of nuclear war. Does anyone else know more about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.242.157.38 (talk) 18:38, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update from same person: Okay, so I asked about and it's actually some nearby caves. So not designed for nuclear attack, but at least to withstand conventional bombing as it was designed for WWII. --174.58.154.105 (talk) 01:04, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History

I think the history section needs to be fact-checked. I know that commercial Lake City ammunition prior to the Winchester contract in 2020 was branded under Federal, and Federal is a subsidiary of Vista Outdoors, which was the other half of the Alliant Techsystems spinoff in 2015. The article is written under the assumption that the space technology division, Orbital ATK, was the division that took over Lake City in 2015 following the spinoff of Vista Outdoors and the merger of Alliant and the Orbital Sciences Corporation, but I'm fairly certain it was Vista Outdoors that took it over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.65.208 (talk) 05:38, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
