NavSource in its entry on Chincoteague (see http://www.navsource.net/archives/09/43/4324.htm) states in the ship's history that Chincoteague instead became the South Vietnamese ship RVNS Trần Bình Trọng (HQ-05), but in photo captions posted below that in the Chincoteague entry states that Chincoteague became both Lý Thường Kiệt (HQ-16) and Trần Bình Trọng (HQ-05).

Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1947–1982 Part II: The Warsaw Pact and Non-Aligned Nations, p. 369, agrees with Jane's that Lý Thường Kiệt was the former Chincoteague, but also states that Lý Thường Kiệt's designation in South Vietnamese service was HQ-05, a designation that Jane's, p. 592, and NavSource (in both its Chincoteague and Castle Rock entries) state was the designation for Trần Bình Trọng.

The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships entry for Chincoteague (see http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/c8/chincoteague.htm) apparently was written before the ship was transferred to South Vietnam and has not been updated, and therefore makes no mention at all of her South Vietnamese service.
