[edit] John C. Stennis Battle Group

No other aircraft carrier has a battlegroup article, which itself is a transient thing changing most of the time. We do not have articles on the make-up of the Russian Northern Fleet, or USPACOM, far more relevant entities of transient make-up. Xxxxxxxxxxx 17:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. We have a great many articles on military formations, even ones whose compositions change periodically. This one is useful in that it allows the other ships to be connected from articles about their unit's activities without the reader having to wade through longish carrier articles. I also note that absence of related articles is a reason to create them, not a reason to delete the first one (While the US Army has received good top-to-bottom coverage of its units, the Navy is further behind.)

• Keep, move if necessary. Naval organization is a notable topic IMO. -AlexWCovington (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
