The once-attached (now deleted) picture is not one of USS Laffey DD-724, but is of the earlier Laffey DD-459, sunk during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. This is evident because of the penant number on the bow. I looked at
http://www.history.navy.mil
but they do not have a picture of DD-724.

You would start by opening an account at Commons, separate from Wikipedia. Assuming the picture is in the public domain, you'd upload it there, then link from here.

Kamikaze Assault
Porbably should have asked this before adding it, but does Laffey's having survived attacks from the largest kamikaze formation in history deserve to have its own heading?

I agree. Also, I've patched up the grammar and style of the section (which was mostly added after 13:03, 22 December 2010 by
DebtMan (
talk), but the sheer amount of basic grammatical errors, excessive detail (possibly 'created' by the author) and lack of references makes one dubious of its reliability. Still, I'll go with it for the time being.

Coordinate error
{{geodata-check}}
The following coordinate fixes are needed for
USS Laffey Coordinates
32 51 09N
79 56 41W
Declined as I can't find a source for this. Would you take a look at
Obtaining Geographical Coordinates and then relist this request along with an explanation of the source for the coordinates? You can relist it by merely removing the "tlc|" from the {{geodata check}} tag, above? Regards,

Returning Home
A new
article about the Laffey came out today on our local news. Doesn't seem to have any specifics on when the ship will be reberthed, so I dunno how helpful it is, but I thought the folks here would be interested.

Thanks. I've updated the article with info on the ships return.

The mention of Laffey in Azur Lane isn't right, as the Laffey portrayed there is the older one, DD-459... perhaps it would be better to just remove that line from the article, or maybe place it on the
USS Laffey (DD-459) page, if it isn't already there?

Recently she was added to the game. I have added the the mention in In Popular Culture again. I might as well add it to DD-459 as well.
