- USS Newport News history readers and naval-history researchers
- Worth noticing
- The site says its Names & Records page shows the document behind every name and that conflicting records are stated plainly.
Field notes
The site places chronology and specifications after its sections on builders, crews, and people who preserve the ship’s memory. It describes a source policy that draws on Navy histories, court opinions, National Archives deck logs, and memorial records, and says its Names & Records page shows the document behind each name. The publisher also says it identifies conflicts between records instead of resolving them by invention.
