Like a pheonix?

The bit under "Total Rebuild" about the boat rising from the ground like a phoenix is a little, something. I can't think of the term I am looking for, but I don't think that analogy is appropriate for the article. I don't like editing articles unless someone else agrees...

Excerpt from letters written by Ray Erastus Snedaker

I was reading some letters from my grandfather, Ray Erastus Snedaker, to my grandmother, May Rose Curry Snedaker, and came across some material that would validate the bombing at Keppel Harbor.

It turns out that I have three separate letters that my Grandfather had written detailing the bombing. They all say close to the same thing. Some are more detailed than others. If scanning these letters would be beneficial or useful to someone, then please request, and I'll make the time to scan and upload. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Df2k2 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with SS Manhattan

I feel like since the two ships are one and the same, that they could be safely merged. I'm adding a template to that effect. 174.0.253.201 (talk) 14:28, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support and honestly, this should not be controversial. The article name should be SS Manhattan (1931) per SHIPNAME and COMMONNAME. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:39, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I'll change the template to reflect the merger into the Manhattan page. 174.0.253.201 (talk) 23:10, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, i'm working on it Moreno Ardan1 (talk) 10:49, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
