Displacement

The infobox lists Amagi's standard displacement as 22.400 tons, and her full load displacement as 22,800 tons, for a difference of only 400 tons. This seems to me to be an incredibly small difference; the Essex class (of the same time frame), for example, had a difference of over 9,000 tons.

Hiryū’s displacement was around 19,000 tonnes. Shōkaku was around 25,000 tonnes. XTremeAdmiral (talk) 11:52, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Yorktown class had around 19,000 tonnes too. They were more heavily aremoured that the Sōryū class, but in fact, Shōkaku had better protection from torpedoes and had good protection on her citadel. XTremeAdmiral (talk) 11:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Unryū class was very similar the the Hiryū and the Sōryū XTremeAdmiral (talk) 11:54, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References

The Tully source link was broken due to a capitalization error in the url. That was fixed and the link now works. Question: As this source was used to verify the claim made on the main page, and the capitalization error was in the link was broken when that was approved, how was the citation checked?

In any event the link now works, and the ^{[citation needed]} tags have been removed, as the source supports the sentences to which those tags were recently added. 24.177.99.126 (talk) 19:20, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Falling overboard

Did the "flight deck fall[ing] overboard" or did stuff on the flight deck fall overboard? Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 19:27, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My source says that the flight deck itself fell off when she rolled over.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does every sentence need a cite?

No.[1], [2]
