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)
