Talk:Chief of Naval Operations

Untitled

I fixed the reference to James L. Holloway. It was J.L. Holloway III, not Jr., who served as CNO, per the Naval Historical Center list of CNOs: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq35-1.htm.

J.L. Holloway, Jr. was also a U.S. Navy admiral, and served as superintendent of the US Naval Academy. http://www.usna.com/News_Pubs/Publications/Shipmate/2001/2001_12/USNASupes.htm USNA Shipmate magazine, Dec 2001 issue.

Help with fixing the broken jpgs in the table

Is there any way to fix the broken jpgs-the ones that don't show up-in the table? I tried to do the first one by putting in the right jpg code from the Benson article but it still appears broken. 129.246.254.12 (talk) 18:41, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

All of the jpgs are showing up in the table. Thanks to whoever fixed the broken links! 129.246.254.12 (talk) 18:27, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Admiral Jeremy M. Boorda

Hello Wikipedians, Although Admiral Jeremy M. Boorda, who died during his service, was Jewish, his death is marked by a cross. I would suggest that it will be marked with the Star of David, the same sign as on his tombstone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Boorda#/media/File:Boordajeremy.jpg

I think it's something to consider. 31.154.29.90 (talk) 10:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

CNO residence

Neither here, nor Number One Observatory Circle article names the CNO who "liked the house so much that in 1923 he took over" for himself. Is this a secret or nobody knows? 80.99.68.131 (talk) 17:38, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

CNO title spelling

I edited the article to change 'chief of naval operations' to 'Chief of Naval Operations' to fix consistency issues. It was reverted.

The article title is 'Chief of Naval Operations', why shouldn't the body of the article have the same capitalization? Commentary in this talk article has a similar treatment. Official naval publications also show similar treatment. NavyVet6989 (talk) 01:30, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
