Talk:USS Narraguagas

NOT the Esso Maracaibo which rammed the General Urdaneta Bridge!
This fake info has stood for so long in this article that it has spread to other sites who are copying content from Wikipedia. The confusion may be understandable, since the USS Naraguagas did bear that name until 1956, but even ten minutes of googling should have alerted the unknown editor that there's something wrong with this: So, pls don't reinsert that false information into this article! It wasn't the Narraguagas which rammed the bridge, but the MV Esso Maracaibo (II). Gray62 (talk) 08:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Pictures of the AOG 32 and the Esso Maracaibo which did strike the bridge don't match at all. The Narraguagas only has a single superstructure aft.
 * Several reports about the accident show that the involved tanker was carrying crude, not gasoline, was bigger (236,000 barrels of crude calculate to more than 32,000 tons weight!) and longer (see photos). Under no circumstance would a tank ship of about 2200 tons have been called a “supertanker“ in 1964.
 * Detailed reports about USS Narraguagas prove that she only had been named Esso Maracaibo until 1956. Google also provides hits for the rather different ship which became the second one to bear that name in 1959.
