This section is confusing and needs re-wording

Commanding Officers section
I added a new section for Commanding Officers, patterned after another ship page. My edits have been deleted twice.

As explained by another editor, such were deprecated as the consensus was to add notable commanding officers (and any other notable crew) to the article's prose instead. - wolf 21:39, 18 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Namesake
@
BilCat and
GansMans: (GansMans IP acct will also be not'd) - while I see a ref has been
attached, I'm not sure if it is sufficient. The only source it uses is DANFS which makes no mention of CV-2. There are links to assoc. pages (which we generally don't accept as RS), but no other sources that I saw. I believe this may be the same issue as we are currently seeing on the
USS Yorktown (CV-10) page, where the source is likely a result of
WP:CIRC. (BilCat, thoughts?) And GansMans, are you able to find any other sources to support the naming for CV-2? Thanks - wolf 21:51, 18 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Now
USS Wasp. I'm going to sit this out for awhile so I don't get blocked for edit warring. We might ask at MILHIST/WPSHIPS in the meantime, as this has likely been discussed before.

@
BilCat: thanks for the reply. Don't blame you for wanting to avoid further reverts, I think I will now as well. But any contribution to discussion would be helpful. Cheers - wolf 22:15, 18 September 2021 (UTC)reply
As I said, I'm going to sit this out for a while. You can't get in trouble for what you don't say!

Returned namesake belatedly to
Battle of Lexington, which is supported by both
DANFS, which doesn't mention CV-2 at all, and
Navsource. The latter draws the correct distinction between what the name means (which is what, to me, the "namesake" field is for), and why it was chosen for this ship: "Renamed Lexington, 16 June 1942, to honor CV-2 (lost one month earlier at the Battle of the Coral Sea), thus becoming the fifth US warship to bear the name of the town in Massachusetts...." (emphasis added).
