The USS Mettawee (AOG-17) has been misnamed the USS Mattawee (AOG-17) in this article -- appears to be a typographical error.
The USS Mettawee is of some importance as she was a Class-ship. The class has also been misnamed as Mattawee-Class instead of Mettawee-Class.
Rationale for claim of typographical error includes:
- The DANFS documents the Mettawee (AOG-17) but does not mention a ship named Mattawee.
- The DANFS claims she is named after the Mettawee river in New York, and such a river does exist near Granville in upstate New York.
- Many of the Mettawee-Class ships have been named after US rivers, and it seems logical that this naming convention was first established by naming the Class-ship after a US river.
I considered attempting to correct this error myself, but am not an experienced wikipedian and balked at the thought of change an article title, associated links, etc.
