Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 21, 2013.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Napoleon III, Emperor of France, bought the American ironclad Dunderberg in 1867 over the objections of his own navy, which preferred a home-built ship?

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]
