The article states:
This appears to me to be erroneous since it refers to three turrets in the main battery (which I believe is correct), then "the other four turrets" which I believe to be an error. There are not any other turrets in the main battery. Since I am not a subject expert I just wanted to draw the attention of someone that may actually know what is being referred to here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.4.134.53 ( talk) 02:38, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
The entry regarding the relief of the commanding officer subsequent to the collision with USS Washington is in error. It reads as follows:
On 23 January Admiral Chester Nimitz removed him from command and replaced him with Captain Thomas Peyton.
According to ussindianabb58.com, James Mortimer Steele assumed command of the ship on 13 January 1944, and was relieved just two months later, on 17 March. He was replaced by Thomas Joseph Keliher. Steele and Keliher were the fourth and fifth commanding officers of the ship. Thomas Green Peyton was the second commanding officer. In any event, the collision occurred on 1 February, after the 23 January date cited in the article. SeymourBears ( talk) 02:18, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
This material more properly belongs at "The Battle of the Philippine Sea" as it is not directly involved with Indiana. I removed it to help tighten the prose:
... and as four large air raids hit the American formations, the F6F Hellcats of the fleet, with minor assistance by the ships in the screens, shot down nearly 400 of the Japanese attackers. With able assistance from submarines, Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's forces sank three Japanese aircraft carriers, including Shōkaku and the brand-new Taihō. The air battle was called the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot".[11]

I’m seeing that USS Indiana and USS Alabama are both involved in the battle of the Philippines sea. With both saying they saw the first wave of Japanese aircraft on June 19. Either Alabama was there or Indiana was there and saw them first. Both couldn’t have saw them first. And neither are mentioned as sailing with the other as they’re being said to sail with either Massachusetts or South Dakota 12.71.223.35 ( talk) 04:47, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
