text of the article states that it USED to be known as the USS liberty. so why is this refered to as a "misnomer" later in article?

can we change that to "former name" or the like, or am i missing something here?

is there a specific year that "USAT" designations came into being? or at least in this particular case? 173.9.95.217 ( talk) 18:02, 27 July 2015 (UTC) reply
