thread_title:  please add this to history of the ship 

message: This article would benefit from information about her propulsion system. I've not been able to find anything from a cursory internet search, but perhaps a more assiduous maritime historian can find out things such as number and type of boilers, boiler manufacturer, type of engine (reciprocating or turbine), engine manufacturer, etc.98.170.201.140 (talk) 02:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I totally agree. The article should never have been featured as the TFA without a section on construction and design. Gatoclass (talk) 06:59, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have come across a passenger list on Ancestry.com for the "USAT Charles A Stafford" sailing out of Bremerhaven on 12 July 1947 arriving at New York on 23 July 1947. (Search the name of deceased Rachel B Tennery DOB 6 Apr 1909 to easily find the document.) The shipping line is identified as "United States Army Transport", owner War Dept, Washington, DC, local agents NYPE, Water Div, Trans Corps. This seems to contradict the article's suggestion that the ship was transferred by the War Dept to the Maritime Commission in 1946. The ship was not labeled as a hospital ship for this voyage yet preserved the Stafford name and was not in commercial operation running from the UK to NYC but Germany to NYC for the military. I can't update the article using research, but this passenger list, along with another mention above, might prompt someone to look closer at the post-war names, owners, and uses of the ship until it was scrapped. I've dabbled in war ship articles but don't have the resources to update this article. Hope you find this piece of the puzzle helps augment it. Pnoble805 (talk) 17:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
