This article, loaded with innacuracies and strange ideas, is about a 1967 Bowditch port call at Barcelona. It was submitted by a Spanish visitor to the site who reports that "the press has never been characterized by being faithful to reality and even less with these naval issues, even more so in those times of Franco's dictatorship in 1967".

This announcement is a bit premature. Both Bowditch and Dutton kept on steaming for several years. C3 vessels SS Moremac Scan and SS Moremac Lake were never converted to anything.The ships designated T-AGS-39 and T-AGS-40 were newly constructed as USNS Maury and USNS Maury, purpose built as diesel powered survey ships.
