Following on from your point about RFA/HMS Lyme Bay, I see the Americans are suffering a similar state of flux. In the lat3st issue of Warship World Pictorial, there is a photo of USS Hershel “Woody” Williams (phew!) which was formerly the USNS ditto!
Aside from the prefix, what would have caused the reallocation, aside from crew? It cannot be armament, as I see RFA Fort Victoria , and other RFAs are often armed?
