There's a claim on the talk page that the article is based on a computer game guide that preceeds the history of the page, hence there is a potential copyright infringement. I can't access the source, but perhaps others will be better able to assess the claim. I note other unresolved maintainence issues. Klbrain (talk) 17:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: Sources used are for submarines... Being sourced to a game manual isn't quite what were looking for. This is amply discussed in other articles. Oaktree b (talk) 20:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Delete: Tone is not encyclopedic. Poorly sourced. Any necessary information could be easily folded into carrier strike group or Naval tactics. I looked at the source that User:Some Harp user provided on the talk page as the source material. It seems similar in tone and topics, although at a quick review I couldn't identify any direct quotes lifted. Also noting that there is no indication of when this information is from. Is this how strike groups work now or 30 years ago (when the game manual was written) or some other time? These problems have existed with the article for over 20 years so likely aren't going to be resolved anytime soon. meamemg (talk) 15:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Weak delete Comment My knee-jerk response to this article is "Cool!!" Now to read it with care... Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC) Okay, yeah, I see what you guys are talking about. Large parts of this article are redundant with content that is (I presume) better covered elsewhere, such as Battlespace. Good candidate for WP:TNT. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:24, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
