June 2022[edit]
Nice edits for the lead section at the 2022 Russian invasion article. I've noticed that you have done several submarine articles for the 20th century. Any interest in co-developing developing one of the 21st century submarine article such as USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN-730) for peer review? ErnestKrause (talk) 16:16, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sure. Let’s try. Jehochman Talk 22:23, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Some thoughts for moving forward might start in comparing notes on possible themes for expansions to the article, which is currently on the short side in its content. Maybe a Patroling history section if info is available? Maybe some discussion of Nuclear deterrence in the future, given so much talk about nuclear disarmament in geopolitics? I've heard that several of the sister subs in this fleet were converted from nuclear subs to cruise missile subs (4 of them), maybe a trend toward nuclear disarmament? Possibly you might have some thoughts for missing sections that could be added, or, maybe expanding parts of what is already there in the article. Any thoughts?

- First, we can look at other SSBN articles and see if any are more advanced and try to follow the structure of those articles. Service history is good content, though there may not be that much public information. An interesting question to consider is when the ship is scheduled to be taken out of service for overhauls, and when it will be replaced (expected) by the new Columbia class SSBNs. If it will help, I live in New London and can try to get information from the local historian. Jehochman Talk 03:53, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia article for Columbia-class submarine mentions that they will replace the Jackson and its sister submarines, and that the first one, to be called USS District of Columbia, has started its build a year ago and is due out in 2031. It is a nice advantage that you are in New London where added sources might be possible. The USS Jackson article I think would benefit from a short section mentioning it as part of the USA triad strategy for nuclear deterrence: ICBMs, long-range bomber attacks, deployed submarine launches. The commissioning of the build for the USS District of Columbia seems a strong message that USA strategic policy for the next decade seems to be oriented to maintaining a nuclear strike force. It'll be interesting to see what your local historian might have on this submarine. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Nice comments at the Russian invasion article. As I look at the submarine article here, I'm having about equal feeling about going with this Henry Jackson article or going with one of the new Columbia Class subs you mentioned above, for example the USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826) which just had its keel laying ceremony in Rhode Island this month. Any preference? ErnestKrause (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes. An article about the lead ship of the class will be more interesting and more useful to a wider audience. We should prioritize that one. Jehochman Talk 00:15, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- I've done 2-3 sections for that article and you can have a look and adapt or change things as needed. After you have a look maybe you have some ideas on where and when to continue the expansion. Looks ok? ErnestKrause (talk) 15:12, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Some reverts from User:BitCat on edits taken from a new article from National Interest which you might look at. If you can bring them back, then I will support you on this. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
