I have a couple of concerns regarding the accuracy of the introduction. For starters, the Connecticut's were not the last US Nacy Pre-dreadnoughts, the two vessels of the Mississippi class hold that particular distinction. Also, I suspect that the Royal Navy and French Navy might have something to say about that - I seem to remember the Lord Nelson class and Danton class both being described as the "best" Pre-dreadnoughts elsewhere. Assuming no one objects I'll make a couple of minor edits to the introduction. Getztashida 15:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
OTOH, the USS New Hampshire was the last of this class launched, and that was actually after both ships of the Mississippi class. I would also not compare the specifications of the Danton class: All but one were laid down after HMS Dreadnought was launched. That would make them semi-dreadnought? Danton's competition was not the Connecticut or Lord Nelson, but later ships like Dreadnought herself, South Carolina, and Nassau. Against these Danton's very construction was sheer folly. I'll not disagree with any changes you decide to make, just please make them with this information in mind.
PS, my vote for best pre-dreadnought goes to Lord Nelson. Atkindave 18:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
