Reposting this from my talk page because I don't think it was seen there:
@Onel5969:
Thank you for reviewing the article. This copyvio issue is a case of the Wikipedia article and the alleged source of the copyright violation copying from the public domain Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (DANFS) entry for this vessel. Copying from the DANFS seems to be very common practice for writing about US warships on Wikipedia; one can see it on articles for her sister ships here and here for example. In the reference section of the article, I noted that the article incorporates text from the DANFS: "This article incorporates text from the public domainDictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships. The entry can be found here." Please let me know if that addresses some of your concerns. Thank you,
