The are gaps in this article for the time period 1975 to mid-1980 and then mid-1983 to 1989. The Navy's Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships has historical material on the Barb through 1980. I think this can be legally inserted for the missing text, but I'm not sure -- does anyone know?--A. B. 12:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, go ahead. For some reason, until recently most of DANFS's B articles were missing or abbreviated. I see that this one was updated "6 March 2006", with "Updates pending for 1980-1989." —wwoods 19:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
