How they manage to make, for example, "USS
Dempsey" into 96 pages when
the wikipedia entry is maybe 2 pages is another question.
They include linked articles.
I would guess as much, but when you look at all the links in a typical
wikipedia article, including them in a book about the topic quickly
becomes rather specious, granted I/we don't know how many or which of
them are being included.
Using the USS Dempsey as an example again, the wikipedia links include
"Pacific Ocean", "aircraft" and "San Francisco, California";
and 2/96
pages is about 2% of root content.
