Oceanographic Study?

Both the wikipedia article on the history of research ships and the book Enhanced Essentials of Oceanography (by Tom Garrison) make mention of the USS Stewart as being the first vessel to use an echo sounder to map part of the ocean floor, but this article makes no mention of it. This seems like a historical first, and should probably be mentioned in this article.

Go ahead and do it then. Just be sure to add a citation from the book.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ghost Ship of the Pacific

The CNN article https://lite.cnn.com/2024/10/03/science/ghost-ship-pacific-wreck-california-scli-intl/index.html makes some interesting claims about this ship that should be better verified and then added to the article.

The name "Ghost Ship of the Pacific". The article has "The wreck of a US Navy destroyer known as the 'Ghost Ship of the Pacific'". I have added a redirect for Ghost Ship of the Pacific but hope for better supporting evidence that the ship was known by this name. Later in the CNN article is "It was not until the Stewart was found afloat in Kure, Japan at the end of the war that the mystery of the Pacific ghost ship was finally solved." which implies that "Ghost Ship of the Pacific" was not a formal name in widespread use. Maybe it was just one of the things known as ghosts ships.
While the CNN article claims that locating the wreck became "a top national priority" with "the interest of historians, archaeologists, and naval enthusiasts" it seems from this statement and press release by Search Inc. that the goal was to test the performance of a newly developed by Search Inc's unmanned submersible and that they decided to start with the USS Stewart.

The header/banner of the https://www.airseaheritage.org/ web site includes https://www.airseaheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Stewart.jpg which is a nice picture of the USS Stewart. The caption/credit for that picture is "USS DD-224 (ex-IJNS Patrol Boat No. 102, ex-USS Stewart) arrives at San Francisco in July 1946 after service under two flags during WWII (US Navy photo)." implying it's a public domain image that we can use. --Marc Kupper|talk 17:47, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
