according to the text, 1-36 were obtained converting 1+17+14=32 ships -- but below 23+9 is correct according to the APD list, 34=36-2 ships were actually converted --- no, 33=36-2 (canceled) -1 (APD-30 is missing) by the way, Silvestone 1968 (US warships ...) is confuse on the losses, that are 8 on page 276 and 10 on page 404 is pietro

high speed transports edit

The link to high speed transport from the Battle of the Bismarck Sea article refers to use by Imperial Japanese Navy in WWII. The article as of 2 Mar 2018 is about United States Navy conversions of destroyers and destroyer escorts to high-speed transport type. It could be the IJN used unconverted destroyers as high speed transports while USN used conversions, but that point is not clear. This article could use some expansion on the high speed transport ships used by other navies by editors familiar with the subject and with access to reliable sources. --Naaman Brown (talk) 14:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
