Merge proposal

Propose merging Casco class seaplane tender into Barnegat class seaplane tender

Rationale: The only USS Casco that appears to have been a seaplane tender (at least from the WWII era) is USS Casco (AVP-12) which is very clearly identified as a Barnegat-class seaplane tender in DANFS and other sources. Not sure if Casco is an alternative variation or if maybe it was a separate class that was canceled or what, so I have proposed this merge rather than just redirecting. — Bellhalla (talk) 23:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, merhe them. The articles should be merged. There was no Casco-class of seaplane tenders, Casco having been a Barnegat-class ship. The confusion apparently arose because some of the Barnegat-class ships were transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard after World War II and were known in the Coast guard as Casco-class cutters.

Agree to merge proposal. The Casco-class appears to be a sub-class of the Barnegat, but I can find nothing that states that as fact. Since the Casco article is enemic, at best, merging it would increase its visibility. JMPInstructor (talk) 14:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The USS Casco appears to the be first (lowest number) of the Barnegats that were transfered to the USCG. It appears Casco Class is the USCG designation since they never owned the Barnegat. Further research should bear this out. JMPInstructor (talk)

Merge content here, but redirect old title to Casco class cutter, which is a full article. Make appropriate cross references to between remaining articles. --J Clear (talk) 10:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
