[edit] Ferry Time

It is actually 60 minutes to get from Bremerton to Seattle. 5 min loading, 50 trip and 5 min, unloading.

My bad on the crossing time.

[edit] Who is Andrew Alexander?

Who is Andrew Alexander and why should he be listed in this article? --8bitJake 20:23, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Johnny Carson was never a Bremerton resident

This information should be moved to a "Trivia" category and taken out of the Notable Bremertonians category. To my knowledge, he never lived there and was born in Iowa.

The Tonight Show show host Johnny Carson was stationed aboard the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) while it was in Bremerton for repairs following a 1945 torpedo strike.

[edit] Location

"It is located on the Kitsap Peninsula north of Sinclair Inlet and west of the body of water known as Port Orchard." Port Orchard is not a body of water. It is on the water, but is actually a small town. Arinna 21:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Arinna

You are correct. I've fixed it. If you see something is wrong with an article don't be afraid, go ahead, be bold and jump right in and change it. NeoFreak 23:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
As a recent editor noted, Port Orchard is a correct name for both a town and a body of water adjacent to that town. Mlouns 16:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
The town is named after the body of water but the town is much more prominent, similar to say Tampa Bay in Florida, and Bremerton is north, not west of both. If you want reference the body of water and not the town I don't think it's that big of a deal either way though. NeoFreak 18:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
