The article text says 1962-01-19; the infobox says 1961-09-16. Which is it? Dricherby (talk) 21:50, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to the 2011 PDF publication Ships Built by Newport News the Oregon was launched on 16 Sept 1961 and delivered on 19 Apr 1962. The PDF, unfortunately, is no longer available on the Newport News Shipbuilding site.Blue Riband (talk) 03:48, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
