Corrections[edit]

Rather bizarrely, someone replaced the construction history and some of the info box career history and characteristics of USS Berwyn (ID-3565) of 1918-1920 with what appears to be that of a different ship that existed from 1939 to ca. 1950. Whoever did it ignored the ship′s history as written in the article, which he or she left intact and which makes it obvious that the article is discussing the Berwyn of 1918-1920 and not any ship of the 1939-1950 period. The U.S. Navy has never had another "USS Berwyn," so the identity of the (presumed) later ship is unclear; some of the incorrect information entered in this article suggests that the later Berwyn may have been a Royal Australian Navy ship. I have restored the article′s content to discuss the Berwyn of 1918-1920; if anyone wants an article about a later ship named Berwyn, (perhaps HMAS Berwyn?), he or she should create it as an entirely new article.
