Category technically incorrect

Flyer was exclusively a Bathymetric Survey ship. There are cites for that (beyond personal experience) that I have not added as there seems to be no such category. The closest is "Category:Bowditch class survey ships" but that is far too specific. "Oceanographic" ships in Navy were AGOR and survey (Hydrographic and Bathymetric) were AGS with a few, such as Flyer and USNS Kingsport (T-AG-164)[Kingsport did have "oceanographic" capability], simply AG. --Palmeira (talk) 16:20, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
