	Naval ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A naval ship is a ship (or sometimes boat, depending on classification) used for military purposes, commonly by a navy.
		Naval ships are differentiated from civilian ships by construction and purpose.
		Naval ship classification is a field that has changed over time, and is not an area of wide international agreement, so this article currently uses the system as currently used by the United States Navy.

	Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naval warfare continued in this vein through the Middle Ages until cannon became commonplace and capable of being reloaded quickly enough to be reused in the same battle.
		Navy ships normally operate with a group, which may be a small squadron of comparable vessels, or a larger naval fleet of various specialized ships.
		Naval ship names are typically prefixed by an abbreviation indicating the national navy in which they served.

		Heavy, slow ships with round bottoms were used to transport grain, while slim-keeled ships such as the trireme were used for warfare (see galley).
		In the Middle Ages Viking ships, propelled by both oars and sails, carried Leif Eriksson to America; their structure is well known from such evidences as the Gokstad ship (unearthed in 1880), which is 80 ft (24.4 m) long, 16 ft 6 in.
		Modern freight ships are equipped with powerful machines for handling cargo; and, although jet transportation has led to the demise of the great ocean liners, cruise ships continue to be built, providing the luxuries of the finest hotels.

	USN Ship Naming
		Ships armed with 40 guns or more were of the "first class"; those carrying fewer than 40, but more than 20, guns were of the "second class." The name source for the second class was expanded to include the principal towns as well as rivers.
		In the case of ships named for individuals, an effort is made to identify the eldest living direct female descendant of that individual to perform the role of ship's sponsor.
		Civilian-manned ships of the Military Sealift Command (MSC) are not commissioned ships; their status is "in service," rather than "in commission." They are, nonetheless, Navy ships in active national service, and the prefix "USNS" (United States Naval Ship) was adopted to identify them.

	USN Ship Designations
		On 17 July 1920, the designation system was revised so that all ships were now designated with a two letter code and a hull number, with the first letter being the ship type and the second letter being the sub-type.
		Ships that changed classifications were given new hull numbers within their new designation series.
		The number of suitable ships fluctuated throughout this period as older ships went to the breakers and new ships were completed.

	THE ARSENAL SHIP AND THE U
		In the event the ship were to be detected, by perhaps a diesel submarine, a double hull could prove insufficient to guarantee survivability of the platform.
		The Arsenal Ship is touted as having the ability to undertake offensive mining and countermine operations, and still operate with less detection - and less protection - in the littoral areas than carriers, however, the skepticism presented in the previous chapter regarding vulnerability raises questions as to the accuracy of these points.
		Naval planners will have to concentrate efforts on training in the littoral; however, current ship capabilities limit the extent to which this can be done.

	Index of Russian Naval Ship Names
		The names of specific naval vessels often appear in various press reports, without any reference to their class or type.
		Please note that this is primarily intended to be a table of common ship names, and although some ship-specific information appears here, it is by no means intended to be a complete accounting of the Russian fleet.
		At this stage the table should more or less reflect the vast number of ships that exited the Russian naval inventory through the last decade, but there are probably still holes here and there (and I would expect that many of the units marked "active" are for practical purposes out of service).
