Hi, let me be the first to officially welcome to you to Wikipedia (I'm assuming you're the Lou Sander with whom I corresponded). Here's the "standard" greeting :-)
Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers!
Oh, and a side-effect of having nearly 140K articles - many of them already exist, such as Liberty ship, which makes Liberty ships semi-redundant. You might want to compare the two - in general we tend to use the singular case in titles. The link to the plural from Newport News Shipbuilding was a typo, probably mine (sorry!). Anyway, when I'm ready to create a new article, I plug my proposed title into the search box, just to check on what's out there already - surprising what turns up sometimes!
