Talk:SS Lurline (1932)

message: Since the ship was originally named SS Lurline, wouldn't it be more suitable to move the MS Ellinis page text to the SS Lurline page? As Lurline, there will be more material available to fill out the infobox. Chron order writing style will be easier to develop. Binksternet (talk) 18:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Move "MS Ellinis" to "SS Lurline"?

message: This ship page could use a war voyages section like its sisters SS Monterey and SS Mariposa. Binksternet (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: War voyages

message: I heard on an old radio program of a ship that went from the States to Hawaii and I'm pretty sure it was this ship. However, it was pronounced "Loor-ling". Would anyone know what would have been the common pronunciation of the day? If it wasn't as its spelt, "lur-line", then maybe this should be added, if a citation can be found.

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: This is an example of the sometimes blurred line of "USAT" that is not precise. The ship was not bareboat chartered nor crewed by the Army and thus does not meet the more accepted use of that designation. This, and other ships are explicitly excepted in official sources such as The Transportation Corps: Responsibilities, Organization, And Operations (Chester Wardlow, Center Of Military History, United States Army, 1999) with this on page 222:
The more exacting problems in connection with this combined use of shipping concerned troop transports, particularly the larger and faster vessels which ran without escorts and were moved freely from route to route according to the urgency of the needs. Among the vessels of this type in the British pool were the British liners Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Aquitania, Mauretania, Empress of Scotland, and Andes, the French Ile de France and Pasteur, and the Dutch Nieuw Amsterdam. Among the larger American troop carriers were the Navy-operated West Point, Wakefield, Mount Vernon, Monticello, and Hermitage; the Army-operated George Washington and Edmund B. Alexander, the Argentina, Brazil, John Ericsson, Lurline, Mariposa, Monterey, and Uruguay, which were operated by agents of the War Shipping Administration; and the warbuilt, Navy-operated “Admirals” and “Generals” (P-2 type).

thread_title:  USAT usage 

message: The article has a title and identification regarding a specific ship. In the middle of the piece it turns into a list of other ships of a particular line having that name. Then it continues with the specific ship under another line and name. Those other ships in sections need coverage, just not in the middle of an article about a particular ship. Rather than tag the article as having a problem or moving those to a list of ships of the Matson line named Lurline now I am moving those sections to a tail end main section clearly marked "Other ships" for now. Eventually they should either be merged with articles that exist (if the case) or form a list in a separate article. Palmeira (talk) 13:31, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
