Buford[edit]

Why does the entry say U.S.T. Buford? Is that a typo for U.S.S.?

My understanding is it was a United States Transport (UST). Here's another example of the use: U.S.T. Atlantic class Supertankers. Carrite (talk) 05:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Buford has always been called the Buford in any source I've seen. I've seen it called a transport ship, but never a "United States Transport." The example you point to is the only other example I can find of the U.S.T. acronym in a naval context, and the article says that it is only used to refer to 2 classes of supertankers built in 1979.

If U.S.T. were normally used in naming transport ships, you'd find lots of hits with a google search for "UST naval" or "UST ship", but those searches don't return much of use. And the acronym doesn't appear on the disambiguation page for UST, which also suggests it's not normal usage.

I've always wondered why the Buford is called just that, but it never occurred to me to do anything but follow the sources.

a more sanguine estimate[edit]

Suggest: a more sober estimate

Sanguine is misused here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:14C6:C089:6996:597F:37BF:DB74 (talk) 21:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
