USS Mercury?

Been there, done that.
A German commerical liner taken over the the US Navy during WWI.

Need to move on to GM lines; perhaps a Chevy or Pontiac, hmm Pontiac,
honor the indian cheif, that could happen.

There have been several USS Mercury's. I believe the last was a repleshment
ship (AK ?) built during WWII.
