The main reference I used, Charles’ Troopships of World War II was published in 1946, which is when the ship’s U.S. Army history ends. I have no knowledge of what the ship did in the interval from April 1946 and when it entered the Reserve Fleet in late 1948. — Bellhalla ( talk) 14:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'll have this review up soon. Given the other articles I've seen, it'll be an easy review. — the_ ed 17— 05:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

In late November 1943 the ship was transferred by the WSA to the War Department for operation as a Hague Convention hospital ship by the U.S. Army. The ship put into the Todd Hoboken Shipyard at the Port of New York for conversion, remaining there until completion on 30 June 1944. The ship was initially assigned the name Poppy, under the then-current policy of naming Army hospital ships after flowers, but never operated under that name. The ship was instead named after First Lieutenant Blanche F. Sigman, a U.S. Army nurse killed in action on 7 February 1944 on the beachhead during Operation Shingle, the Allied landings at Anzio.[1][8]
Otherwise, the article looks excellent. On hold for now....you know the drill. Cheers! — the_ ed 17— 05:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
