Talk:USS Von Steuben (SSBN-632)

Class

Is Von Steuben a James Madison class or Lafayette class submarine becuase there are conflicting sources? It seems like Lafayette but on the disambiguation & James Madison class page it says James Madison. I'll delete them unless someone says otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thefudgeone (talk • contribs) 13:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Von Steuben was an SSBN 627 James Madison Class boat. Lafayette was SSBN 616 Class Comment added by a Plank Owner —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.44.102.248 (talk) 04:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Original research is not a reliable source which is what is required in this instance. -MBK₀₀₄ 04:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

This question comes up often. The boat was originally a Lafayett Class boat but, the boat was converted from C3 Polaris Missiles to the newer C4 Trident I Missiles. The Lafayette boats that went through this conversion were considered James Madison Class boats (since the Madison was the first hull number converted) Many systems were different on the Trident I boats and thus became known as the Madison Class.

Help me correct the error

I believe the error is because the URL has an equal (=) sign in it. Below is the full url: http://scholarship.richmond.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1322&context=law-faculty-publications I would appreciate any help in correcting this error. For now, I have shortened the URL in the Page Reference to only http://scholarship.richmond.edu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legohead1 (talk • contribs) 10:46, 20 May 2016‎

The error referred to by ReferenceBot was caused by the omission of the URL parameter name. You 'fixed' that when you used the shorter url. The full length url posted in this message work correctly:

It is best practice to include as much information in a citation as possible. I have added the author and date information here.

1978 ERP location error

The article now states "She conducted an Extended Refit Period at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard between March 1978 and May 1978.". The ERP was conducted BY personnel from Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, but the ERP was conducted in Holy Loch, Scotland. The purpose of the ERP program was to extend time between overhauls by performing as much extensive maintenance as possible while deployed. The Von Steuben was in the Floating Dry-dock, Alamogordo, in Holy Lock during the bulk of this refit. I was there.
