An obvious way to improve this article would be to include a likeness of Samuel M. Pook, but unfortunately I have not been able to find one - even one not in the public domain. If someone has an appropriate image and includes it, he/she will earn my gratitude. PKKloeppel ( talk) 13:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I hate to be pedantic, but the spelling Pittsburg is correct. That is the way the Army christened her, and the name remained that way throughout her career. Examples can be found throughout the Official Records for both Army and Navy. PKKloeppel ( talk) 00:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
