Article could use a paragraph on information on the wreck if it's been located and dived. Tempshill 19:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay writing for a third rate military rah-rah sight (lots or "roared down the runway," depicticions of being "undaunted", etc.) Poor for an encyclopedia. Please, just the facts, mam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.157.40 ( talk) 04:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Concur. FAR too many adverbs.-- Phyllis1753 ( talk) 19:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Foolish to label it a third rate military rah-rah sight. Just the facts and no hypocrisy please! take a little of your criticism and apply ample dose to self mam!! No verification the ship exceeded 15 kilotons standard load in accord with Washington Naval Treaty so have stricken comments concerning such. No such verification found in my research if you have it document it please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.90.88.57 ( talk) 05:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Wasp looks like a mini-Yorktown-class.-- LandonJaeger ( talk) 04:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Some parts of the article, mainly on the Early days section are exactly the same as the ones you can find at hazegray. 210.165.133.93 ( talk) 09:48, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Some faulty conversion is being used that has 5" as 130mm. Should be 127mm. I didn't look at the other conversions (miles to km) but they may be suspect too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RZid ( talk • contribs) 05:58, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm not military historian, but this ship is noted to be named after USS Wasp (1814) without explanation. Why that ship? Why not the four preceding ships of the name? Is it something that was specifically noted for this ship when it was named? Every other ship that lists a namesake mentions the insect, which seems logical. If there isn't a specific reason, someone more informed than I am should change that. Westrim ( talk) 11:14, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Second question about the name that follows from the first: I can see that that the Essex class and amphibious assault ship/class are so named to honor the Wasp as part of the carrier lineage, but why was this ship named the Wasp? I see that three of the preceding carriers were named after battles, and the Essex class mostly repeated that, but there are several ships that did not match that naming scheme. I'm not inclined to dig into those ships now, but there seems to be no reason for this ship to have received the name Wasp; the preceding ships were a motorboat, a training ship, and a Confederate gunboat, which would seem to make it an inglorious name to give a carrier commissioned in 1940 as the US prepared for potential war. Perhaps it was rehabilitation for the name? Westrim ( talk) 11:14, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
