USS Wheatland (AKA-85)

• The article is genuine, and so is the photo. Just follow the links at the bottom to see proof. If you think that the image "looks like a toy boat," you might want to double click it and see if you still think that. You could also look at an older version of the image and see that it is an Official U.S. Navy Photograph of USS Rankin (AKA-103). Except for the number on the bow, the Rankin looks almost identical to all the other Tolland class AKAs. I airbrushed away the Rankin's hull number (compare the two versions of the photos) to avoid someone thinking that the photo and the article didn't match. Sorry if someone thinks it looks like a "toy boat." I do not think that it does. And is questioning a photo any reason to delete an entire authentic article? Lou Sander 03:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
