Hello. I have moved all facts from this article to RBNS Sabha, which is the same frigate with a different name (current name). Please do let me know if the edit was wrong. Regards. Rehman⁽⁺⁾ 15:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted, because such actions need to be discussed before they occur and it is also the usual policy of WP:SHIPS for articles to exist for each name of an incarnation of the same hull for military vessels. An example would be French aircraft carrier Foch (R99) and Brazilian aircraft carrier São Paulo (A12). -MBK₀₀₄ 17:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Sorry for the wrong edit. Regards and greetings for the new year! Rehman⁽⁺⁾ 03:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname

I'm curious if anyone could provide a source for USS Jack Williams being nicknamed "The Arky" as it says in this article. I served aboard from 1989-1991 and never once heard this nickname. The only nickname I remember was "The Happy Jack." --Jaiotu (talk) 09:00, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1983 Torpedo Incident

Not sure how to include this in the article with an appropriate citation to a Facebook page but wanted to pass it along.

” #OTD in 1983, the Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate USS Jack Williams (FFG-24) accidentally launched a live MK-46 torpedo while berthed at Naval Station Mayport in Florida. The torpedo skidded across the top of a concrete pier but did not detonate.”
