This article assumes that the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships 1973–1974, p. 592, is correct about the ship's lineage (i.e., that she was the former USS Bering Strait (AVP-34) and USCGC Bering Strait (WAVP-382/WHEC-382) and was designated HQ-02 in South Vietnamese service; the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (DANFS) (see http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/b5/bering-strait-i.htm Archived 27 July 2008 at the Wayback Machine) and NavSource.org (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/43/4334.htm Archived 7 December 2014 at the Wayback Machine) agree. However, much confusion exists on these points in print and on the Web. The United States Coast Guard Historian's Office (see http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/BeringStrait1948.asp Archived 24 September 2008 at the Wayback Machine) agrees that the ship was the former Bering Strait, but does not mention her South Vietnamese "HQ" designation. Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1947–1982 Part II: The Warsaw Pact and Non-Aligned Nations, p. 369, agrees that the ship was the former Bering Strait, but claims her designation in South Vietnamese service was HQ-15, a designation that Jane's, p. 592, and DANFS say was assigned to RVNS Phạm Ngũ Lão (HQ-15), the former USS Absecon (AVP-23) and USCGC Absecon (WAVP-374/WHEC-374). Finally, the Inventory of VNN's Battle Ships Part 1 (see Part 1 at http://www.vnafmamn.com/VNNavy_inventory.html Archived 25 January 2015 at the Wayback Machine) claims that Trần Quang Khải (HQ-02) was the former USS Cook Inlet (AVP-36) and USCGC Cook Inlet (WAVP-385/WHEC-384), while the other sources (less DANFS, which does not mention Cook Inlet's South Vietnamese career) all agree that Cook Inlet became RVNS Trần Quốc Toản (HQ-06) in South Vietnamese service. Even here confusion arises, however, in that Jane's, p. 592, and NavSource.org claim that HQ-02 was Trần Quang Khải and HQ-06 was Trần Quốc Toản, while Conway's, p. 369, claims that HQ-02 was Trần Quốc Toản and HQ-06 was yet another ship, RVNS Ngô Quyền (HQ-17), which Jane's, p. 592, and NavSource.org (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/43/4356.htm Archived 12 May 2014 at the Wayback Machine) both say was designated HQ-17.
This article assumes that the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships 1980–1981, p. 370, is correct about the ship's lineage (i.e., that she was the former USS Bering Strait (AVP-34, USCGC Bering Strait (WAVP-382/WHEC-382)]], and RVNS Trần Quang Khải. However, some confusion exists. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (see http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/b5/bering-strait-i.htm Archived 27 July 2008 at the Wayback Machine), the Naval Historical Center Online Library of Selected Images (see http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-b/avp34.htm Archived 17 July 2009 at the Wayback Machine), the United States Coast Guard Historian's Office (see http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/BeringStrait1948.asp Archived 24 September 2008 at the Wayback Machine), NavSource.org (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/43/4334.htm Archived 7 December 2014 at the Wayback Machine) and Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1947–1982 Part II: The Warsaw Pact and Non-Aligned Nations, p. 356, all agree with Jane's that Diego Silang was the former Trần Quang Khải and Bering Strait. However, the Inventory of VNN's Battle Ships Part 2 (see Part 2 at http://www.vnafmamn.com/VNNavy_inventory2.html Archived 23 February 2015 at the Wayback Machine) claims that Diego Silang was the former RVNS Lý Thường Kiệt (HQ-16), which it in turn claims was the former Bering Strait.
Per the U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office (see http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/BeringStrait1948.asp Archived 24 September 2008 at the Wayback Machine), although NavSource.org (see http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/43/4334.htm Archived 7 December 2014 at the Wayback Machine) claims the Coast Guard decommissioned Bering Strait in February 1970.
