Same ships

It seems there is some redundancy. This 2006 start-class article is about the same ship as the 2008 start-class article USS Wakefield. The military classification follows the 2008 start-class USS Mount Vernon, by the same author, that is the same ship as the 2006 start-class article SS Washington.
