The U.S. Army Transport (U.S.A.T.) is erroneously being applied to all Army vessels, particularly of the huge and varied WW II fleet. That is completely in error. It was definitely used for larger Army owned and possibly long term bareboat charter vessels. It was never used for numerous specialized vessels such as mine planters, the coastal transports (FS) or time/voyage time charter cargo vessels. The format for FS and many of the other Army vessels is clearly seen in the NavSource photo of U.S. Army FS-288. Palmeira (talk) 23:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ironically the template ship example is itself such a case. SS Dorchester was not an Army Transport. The ship was WSA, operated by Agwilines and allocated to Army. Palmeira (talk) 13:58, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
