Is this the same ship? 1972 Southtow expedition — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg.collver (talk • contribs) 08:08, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"USNS" is incorrect

The ship and two other Navy owned vessels of the class (also not USNS) USNS Robert D. Conrad (T-AGOR-3) and USNS Thomas Washington (T-AGOR-10) were assigned to academic institutions as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System fleet (see pages 4-6). USNS vessels are Navy operated and crewed by either Navy or contract civilian mariners and managed and supported by Navy. The UNOLS fleet is managed by the institutions. The R/V prefix is the one found in literature and almost all sources excluding Wikipedia related to those vessels. The page(s) should be renamed. 71.178.17.34 (talk) 11:06, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
