The U.S. Army Transport (U.S.A.T.) was only used for larger transports that were Army owned or bareboat chartered. The smaller vessels, numbered and not ordinarily named, the coastal cargo vessels, tugs and such were referred to in writing and had painted on the vessel "U.S. Army (number)". See List of ships of the United States Army#FS (freight and supply vessels). The photo of FP/FS 344 later to be Pueblo there, though of poor quality, shows the format on the bow. A number of better photos of the bow and stern markings as well as description of the various designs can be seen at the archived web page Army FP/FS Vessels. Another mistake in the text refers to Coast Guard control. The Army controlled the vessels which were crewed by Army military and civilian personnel, Coast Guard and in some cases other crewing schemes. Only the Coast Guard "commissioned" these vessels (which were not commissioned as ships) in a crew/command ceremony, continuing the tradition. The Army just placed them and all other Army ships in service. Though fairly scarce, U.S. Army Ships and Watercraft of World War II by David Grover (Naval Institute Press, 1987, ISBN 0-87021-766-6, LCCN 87015514) is a good reference for all Army ships with a good list of the Freight and Supply type.
