When I brought the article to CZ, I added sections for the years the ship was in commission, improved the headings in the table, and rewrote several paragraphs. [[User:Louis F. Sander|Louis F. Sander]] 12:15, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

DANFS says that ''Fomalhaut'' was converted to an ammunition ship in 1948. The context of her history says that this probably happened in 1945. Assuming that a typographical error was involved, the CZ article puts the conversion in 1945. [[User:Louis F. Sander|Louis F. Sander]] 12:17, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
