Why does this website incorrectly claim that the u.s.s. santa Barbara ae-28 was named for a city in California. US Navy ammunition ships were named for explosives?

Only 2 Navy AE ships were named for explosives; USS Nitro (AE-23) and USS Pyro (AE-24), both of which were post WWII Suribachi class AE's. WWII AE's were converted merchant ships, typically built on type C-2 hulls. Most other AE's are named for volcanoes, e.g., the Kiluaea class, named for Mt. Kiluaea in Hawaii, is the lead ship of the class the Santa Barbara belongs to. The USS Santa Barbara is no exception, but is named for 3 related reasons: 1. A historically active volcano named Santa Barbara on Terceira Island in the Azores. 2. The City of Santa Barbara is named for Saint Barbara. 3. Saint Barbara (Santa Barbara) is the patron Saint of those who work with cannons and explosives.
