Just to add a little clarification. USS Prairie (AD-15) was a destroyer tender, not a tanker. Its configuration could not be mistaken for a tanker. Anyone in Naval Intelligence looking at a photograph of a tanker with the name Prairie on the superstructure would certainly see it as a fake. In fact, anyone who has ever seen a destroyer tender would know it.
