Another REALLY MESSED UP PAGE which causes the whole thing to run into the right margin. We are encountering more and more of these where tables are being used. -- Zoe

Could you produce a screenshot of this and upload it? I and not experiencing trouble when I downsize my browser window. --mav

Now it looks fine. Was the table changed? -- Zoe

[edit] Seabee information

This entry is a good one, but it is more of a Press Release. While it has good general information summarizing the Seabees, it lacks depth. Heck, there isn't even a link to the IMDB entry on The Fighting Seabees ;-)

I was wondering if there are any other current or former Seabees (such as myself) who would like to help work on a new entry. I was thinking of expanding a bit on the history (maybe doing a separate entry on the CEC), going over the ratings (SW, BU, EA, CE, UT, EO, CM), and the current state of the Seabees.

Despite what the current article states, Seabees have units other than NMCBs and PHIBCBs. Naval Construction Force Support Units (NCFSU) are another type of unit, plus Seabees are also involved in the First Lieutenant's office on many (if not all) US Navy bases and Underwater Construction Teams (UCT).

Anyone interested?

References to individual stories, maybe even just links to outside websites that have some, might be especially useful. They make it easy to get a feel for the sort of work the Seabees do. Durahan

A lot of this page is taken verbatim from the Seabee website for the Navy CEC

[edit] contradiction

Is it just me or do the statements supported by references one and two directly contradict each other? 24.150.45.19 (talk) 07:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't just you, but I fixed it. Smartguy777 (talk) 06:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC).
