A fact from USNS Lewis B. Puller (ESB-1) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 December 2013 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the USNS Lewis B. Puller (T-MLP-3/T-AFSB-1) (pictured) will be the first purpose-built afloat forward staging base (AFSB) support vessel for the United States Navy? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/December. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/T-AFSB-1).

It looks as though this vessel will not be crewed by the same unions as the previous ships in its class: [1]. I would opt to not include crewing unions in the article because this information is so likely to change over time. An indication that it is crewed by civilian mariners in more than sufficient.
