Firstly as Phil states site admin can't fix errors, looks to me that modern info is up to date, but old ships are a work in progress, so we have to be tolerant.

History

This ship began life as a Flettner rotor vessel, being fitted with three rotors, these were removed after two years.

Look at the "Former Names" in the "Vessel Identification" section. Names and years does not make sense to me.
