Misleading title

The ship was never commissioned by the U.S. Navy and thus never USS (despite the unusual blunder on the NHHC photo page) and had zero U.S.N. service. The ship did have World War II Army service in the Southwest Pacific and continued with the Army (probably in the region) until transfer in 1951. Thus the Army service was more significant and longer than the few days actually bearing the name Alhena other than on administrative books. The ROK service was possibly the most significant as it included Korean War service. Unfortunately information, even to name of number of the ROK vessel, is not yet found.
