Years ago I was on one of those old ships (USS Rankin (AKA-103)). I wrote an article about her, then branched into other similar ships, plus ships built at the same place as she was. I finished that project, and haven't done any more, but there are many of them waiting to be done. The basic material is at DANFS, so you can do an article fairly quickly. There's a LOT of Wikification to be done on them, as well as polishing up the DANFS language. Plus you learn about history and exotic locations. Hundreds of APA's (attack transports) are out there waiting to be put on Wikipedia. If I get the "new article bug," I'll probably start on them one day.
