Talk:USCGC Courier

message: I Found the following section on the main. This is not the proper way to handle conflicts of information so I moved it to the talk page. See WP:Citation for style in citing web references. 
Conflicts of this nature are best handled on Talk pages, not crossing out material on the main page.PB666 yap 20:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

=== Conflict is the Director of the Department of Transportation... ===
The conflict is that the federal government doesn't even know what vessels exist, no less which one is which they are selling to psuedo-terrorists launching them into bridges as you see. someone make a note of that for main page, possibly use sections of strikeout.

message: There are 5 ships named courier under Naval Reserve Administration DOT with the Name Courier.http://www.pmars.imsg.com/SearchShip.asp?Ship=COURIER&B1=Go However 2 of these are renames. 
* Only one name is unique a C4-S-57a, the American Courier was assigned only to the James River Reserve Fleet and scrapped in 1985.  
* The ship of C1-M-AVI class named Coastal Messenger was renamed Courier (248685) in 1951.  It was sold 2-14-77 under the strict condition that it be scraped preferably in the US to Andy International, Inc.  $71,999.00. There is no further record of this ship.  
* A ship of C3-S-46b, a bulk goods transporter, what I would call a coastal freighter,  maiden voyage as  Export Courier (289947) in 1962 was renamed  Courier (11420) in  1980 and reassigned to the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in Port Neches, Beaumont, Texas. It had an ABoS#6201727  and was sold Southern scrape metal corperation on 7/25/2008 on 8/13/2008 it was shipped to SSMC in NOLA.
This appears to be a misunderstanding by the press officer who wrote of the transfer. However this does not justify the appauling behavior of certain individuals. Presentation of the exact information instead of name calling and finger pointing is appropriate here.PB666 yap 04:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
