"USNS" is incorrect

[edit]

The ship and two other Navy owned vessels of the class (also not USNS) USNS Thomas G. Thompson (T-AGOR-9) 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) 11:04, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
