I googled "Liscome Bay" and all I was able to find were references to the ship itself. Does anyone know where this bay that the ship was named is?--Rogerd July 9, 2005 15:37 (UTC) Liscome Bay is a small inlet near the southern tip of Alaska's Dall Island. Located at approximately 54°, 40′ N, the little bay and its island were significant mainly for setting the boundary between Alaska Territory and British Columbia, in 1903. See USGS GNIS search or naval chart for Dixon Inlet for more detail.Gerald H -oldeststudent2004- (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)^[1][reply]

My great uncle (grandmother's brother) died when this vessel was sunk - he was a young navy enlisted man. This entry is very well written and provided some additional information I was unaware of regarding the battle. Thank you for those who have contributed. --RodFleck 15:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Although most of the credit is due to the US Navy historians who wrote DANFS.--J Clear 23:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The date of the sinking is variously given as 23 November or 24 November in different articles (Battle of Tarawa, for example). This is perhaps due to the location of the sinking west of the international date line. Gerald H -oldeststudent2004- (talk) 17:22, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
