Sources that mention the USS Ferret specifically are few and incidental, while in depth sources on the subject seem to be non existent. Any such sources are most welcomed and can be added here on the talk page, or listed in 'Further reading' where they can be used and accordingly moved to the bibliography if that hasn't been done already. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 05:46, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
