Keep This is a well referenced article about a named ship of the United States Navy.FFA P-16 (talk) 17:23, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to class article; not completed. Kierzek (talk) 17:46, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Well referenced, actual ship. I think that never completed isn't the same as not completed to original specifications. Passes V, NOR, NPOV, and entry in NAFS is not trivial. Smmurphy^(Talk) 18:18, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is a fully developed, sourced article, with photo and detailed infobox. (By the way, about the armaments asserted in the infobox, I wonder if they might have been planned but not installed, in which case that should be noted. But this is a detail for editing at the article.) No purpose served by removing this from the encyclopedia. --do ncr am 22:43, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Balao-class submarine, as not completed project; the article itself tells us that it was the "only submarine" named after a particular fish, while the infobox is twice as long as the actual article, including references. Can be briefly mentioned in the target article. Suggesting a redirect as anything useful can be picked up from the article history. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:45, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; convention is that a named commissioned military ship is notable, and while this one wasn't commissioned, she did serve in a fashion, so for me that's good enough given that the article is pretty complete and simply redirecting to the class page would leave the reader with less information than keeping the article.
