The page makes no mention of the Coronado's role at COMTHIRDFLT Command Ship in the 1990s.
Women at Sea: I need to do some research. I'm sure I can find documentation that Coronado was the first COMBATANT to embark women as part of her regular, full-time crew. I know it's true because I was there. WaxonWaxov ( talk) 21:19, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
How is the best way to deal with an instance like this (in the lead) with the possible move to launch dates? The ship was launched 1 July 1966 but was not commissioned until 23 May 1970. Concerning the two the history states "After two years of labor shortages and a 12-month strike" (three years) but there is only like 38 days from being 4 years difference. Any mention of one, without the other, will leave a void. Otr500 ( talk) 02:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
I've found references to AGF-11 having also been known as 'The Great White Beast of the Middle East,' and 'The Great White Ghost of the Arabian Coast' from at least two different sources: http://navyvets.com/group/persiangulfcruises?commentId=1518752%3AComment%3A51384 has a mention of the nicknames by by John Love on March 26, 2010, and a correspondent of mine from a military fiction group indicated knowing the ship by the 'Beast' nickname and as 'The Death Star' during President Reagan's time in office. Anyone else ever here of these nicknames? DocKrin ( talk) 21:15, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
