  Nearby (D < 100 Mpc) luminous blue starburst galaxies frequently show
morphological evidence for recent involvement in mild collisions, or minor
mergers where the disk survives. As a consequence UV-bright starbursts are
preferentially seen in near face-on galaxies, and the postburst systems may
become star-forming late-type galaxies. If this starburst evolutionary channel
is important at moderate redshifts, then descendants of the faint blue galaxies
could be the very common Sm-Sd field galaxies.
