I started with DANFS, checked several other common web resources, and relied on Polmar to resolve any discrepancies. The ship's name is indeed spelled "meyer" and the fort in northern VA is commonly spelled "myer." So I added an "ARC-6" page and a "USNS Albert J. Myer" page that both redirect to the main article, just in case. The photo is in commons, and was taken by me in 1976, when I was sailing on Meyer frequently. There are better images that show more of the ship's lines, but we'll need to find one that's in the public domain (or convince someone to release one). --DaveMarr 13:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Just in case this old comment leads someone to propose a name change the ship was Albert J. Myer. The ship is named for the same person, Albert J. Myer, founder of the Army Signal Corps, for which Fort Myer was named. Even the Navy preserved the Army name rather than renaming, as they did with USACS William H. G. Bullard being renamed Neptune. The photo in Commons has been corrected. Palmeira (talk) 19:29, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
