Talk:USAS American Mariner

USAF vs. USAFS
NAVSOURCE is inconsistent in the use of USAF or USAFS prefix, for instance here they use both in the same page, so is not what I'd call reliable. My original use of USAF as a prefix was based on a photo of the name on the stern of the one of the range ships where the word "ship" was not present after "U. S. Air Force", unlike "U.S. Army Ship" or "U. S. Naval Ship". Here is an example. Unfortunately Patrick AFB removed the page showing a "U.S. Air Force" labeled stern.

Subject: T-AGM American Mariner photos To: "gpriolo@navsource.org"  Cc: dornori@yahoo.com Date: Friday, January 18, 2008, 7:32 AM Hi - I donated a series of photos of the T-AGM American Mariner to NavSource some time ago. I now have a page on Wikipedia for the American Mariner and would like to use some of my photos shown on NavSource for that article. Is this a problem? Can you send me an OK or "permission to use: or something like that so I can add that to the NavSource credits for those photos. Thanks. Ted Bojanowski DORNORI@YAHOO.COM

as of '06?
It's still there and clearly seen for many miles it's just really shot-up you can still read the name.
