If the Dunderberg was never commissioned as such into the United States Navy, isn't the article mistitled, especially where the "USS" is concerned? —Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 17:24, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because that's how most sources refer to her, although you are correct that she really never had a USS prefix because she was never commissioned into the Union Navy.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:21, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
