USS Sumter (1863) → USS Sumter (1853) – I am completely unsure why this is disambiguated with (1863), as the ship does not seem to have existed in 1863. (1853) would be the best disambiguation, as ships are generally disambiguated by launching year. Hog Farm _Talk 04:45, 10 March 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. BD2412 T 05:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Move to USS Sumter (1862) per WP:NCS: In instances where a ship was captured or otherwise acquired by a navy and the article is placed at that title, use the date of capture or entry to the navy, rather than the date of launch, so the name and prefix are in agreement with the date disambiguation.

So this ship was launched as Junius Beebe in 1853, then became General Sumter in April 1862, and was captured and renamed Sumter in June 1862. The ship was then wrecked in August 1862. Unless the dates in the article are wrong, there is no justification for the 1863 disambiguator. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 15:59, 10 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
