Talk:USS Wolverine (IX-64)

Top speed
The text says it did well to hit 20 knots, but the info box says 28 knots. Could someone verify which figure is more accurate? Thanks. Edison 17:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

The article states that the conversion began in May 1942, and that she began her new job in January 1942. Probably should have been January 1943 since she was not fitted with a Wayback machine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.244.76 (talk) 18:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Dubious
I've never heard of a paddle steamer (sic!) that is able to make 28 knots. And 8000 shp are simply not enough for this speed - an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, having a similar hull length, makes around 30 knots, but has more than ten times as much machine power! I guess that a figure of 18 knots while assuming a typo error (28 <-> 18) is more probable, and in the range of a fast paddle steamer. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 06:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Footnote "a" misleading
While footnote "a" is correct in saying that GRT is not the same as modern GT, it is in error in vaguely saying "It is likely, though not specified, one of several measures of Gross Register Tonnage of the registering authority and time". GRT was used for assessing taxes, and the procedure for calculating it was specified by the US Treasury for US registered ships. This is clearly stated in the cited reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:C7C0:944A:4642:458E:E3F4 (talk) 23:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Name of article
The name of the article should remain Wolverine, as that is what the ship is most known for. As Seeandbee, the vessel was just another random vessel plying the Great Lakes, with an extremely non-notable history. Llammakey (talk) 14:03, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
