Oops. Errors and Omissions.
Occasionally we get things wrong.
And when we do, we appreciate corrections.
We had just such a correction come in, in a comment, which is the best way to draw things to our attention. This came up in an entry here on the the May 16 entries, in which we had the following:
1946 USS Wyoming decomissioned. (This entry is doubly in error, check the comments below).
A Navy veteran pointed out for us:
The weird thing about this is that I actually had the event correctly noted on the correct date, which was pointed out to us in the comment.
1947 The USS Wyoming, BB-32, is decommissioned.
Even weirder yet, the USS Wyoming, BB-32, shows up on this blog a lot, along with the other ships named Wyoming. The USS Wyoming in question was a pretty important ship at that, playing a significant role in World War One.
I'm going to take the error down here shortly, but I'm leaving it up long enough to acknowledge the correction, which I appreciate.

- I'm not sure you intended that image of the ship to be the USS Wyoming. It is not. USS Wyoming has had four incarnations. The one from 1946 was a WWI battleship that was used in WWII as a gunnery training platform. The ship shown is definitely not a battleship. I'm not positive but I think that might be a destroyer escort. Kim Viner CDR U.S. Navy (ret), Laramie, Wyoming.ReplyDelete

p.s. USS Wyoming was officially decommissioned on Aug 1, 1947, according to the the U.S. Navy: https://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/battleships/wyoming/bb32-wyo.html
