African Americans edit
I replaced the U.S. CGC listed as the other U.S. Navy ship with a mostly African-American crew with the USS PC-1264 as that is correct. The U.S. CGC mentioned had only about 1/3 of her crew who were African Americans.
Plus, the WP article on African Americans has the opinion that the hyphen in the term "African-American" should only be used when it is meant as an adjective. So I corrected an instance of that. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 23:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
