	Ship prefix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a civilian or naval ship.
		Prefixes for civilian vessels may either identify the type of propulsion, such as "SS" for steamship, or purpose, such as "RV" for research vessel.
		The use of ship prefixes is not universal; in particular neither the Third Reich's Kriegsmarine nor the Imperial Japanese Navy used ship prefixes.

	Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage.
		Before mechanisation, merchant ships always used sail, but as long as naval warfare depended on ships closing to ram or to fight hand-to-hand, galleys dominated in marine conflicts because of their maneuverability and speed.
		A few ships have used nuclear reactors, but this is not a separate form of propulsion; the reactor heats steam to drive the turbines.

	Her Majesty's Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		His or Her Majesty's Ship (HMS) is the title used for ships of the navy in some monarchies, either formally or informally.
		Otherwise all ships in the Royal Navy are known as HM Ships, though formerly when a distinction was made between three-masted ship-rigged ships and smaller vessels they would be called HM Frigate X, or HM Sloop Y.
		The HMS prefix is also used by shore establishments which are commissioned "stone frigates" in the Royal Navy.

	Steamship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A steamship, or less commonly steam ship, is a ship that is propelled by a steam engine driving through a propeller.
		It usually carries the ship prefix SS before its name.
		The term is often used interchangeably with "steamboat", although vessels called "steamboats" tend to be smaller and travel on rivers, while "steamships" are larger and travel on the open sea.

	Ship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The exact size at which a ship becomes a boat is often defined by local law and regulation.
		Most ships built since around 1960 have been diesel powered, or motor ships, one exception being the Queen Elizabeth 2[?] of 1968 that was fitted with steam turbines although she was subsequently converted to diesel as a cost saving measure.
		In Jesus' time fishermen's boats on the Sea of Galilee were called "ships." Much may be learned regarding the construction of ancient merchant ships and navigation from the record in Acts 27, 28.

	FSD : Starship Operations : Transponder Signals and Prefix Codes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Transponder codes can be extremely useful when a group of ships are acting together, since they enable the fleet's commander to instantly identify each vessel under his or her command and to see exactly how they are deployed.
		If a ship enters a heavily developed area, a network of sensors on board ships, space stations, and planetary installations can be used to relay information to a tactical operations center.
		The prefix codes are seldom used, but there have been instances where knowledge of another ship's prefix code has been instrumental in winning a battle - or preventing a war.

	Wikipedia: NCC
		It has been suggested that the prefix "NCC" was used by the creators of Star Trek analogously to the United States Navy's hull classification symbols, and was a combination of a ship prefix "NS" ("Naval Ship"), and the Soviet Union acronym "CCCP" to show that the two countries had to work together to establish Starfleet.
		In the original series of Star Trek, the only registries seen were for ships either unseen, or seen to be of the same class as the Enterprise.
		This was confirmed in Enterprise with the registry 'NX-01' for the experimental ship of the title, but this was explained in a way which is at odds with chronologically later usage - NX is being used as a class name, and 'NX-01' means 'the first ship of the NX class'.

	Prefixes : Home Electronics
		See live article Binary prefix Binary prefixes are often used to quantify large amounts of bytes, bits, or bits per second (bit/s), and are derived, but slightly different, from the SI prefixes such as kilo-, mega-, giga- and so on.
		Ship prefixes in the United States Navy have consistently been "United States Type," where Type was "Ship," "Sloop," "Bark," and so on.
		In English, most prefixes are bound morphemes, meaning that they cannot occur as independent words (excluding citational uses, e.g., saying "Speaking of the prefix, 'un-',...").

		The use of ship prefixes is not universal; in particular neither the Third Reich's Kriegsmarine nor the Imperial Japanese Navy seem to have used prefixes, although "DKM" and "HIJMS" respectively are often seen in English works.
		In the 20th century, naval ships are often further identified by hull classification symbols, hull numbers, and pennant numbers, in a format specific to each navy.
		A United States ship that has not yet been commissioned in the Navy does not hold the title of USS, it holds the title of PCU (Pre-commissioned unit) For example, say a shipyard is building a new aircraft carrier:—the Neversail.

		A ship name prefix is a series of letters that precede a ship's name, and are used to indicate the vessel's purpose and origin.

		A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually an abbreviation, used in front of a ship (Whether a starship, a surface ship or other type) and often denotes said ship's nationality or type.
		Not all nations utilise prefixes, and many instead identify their vessels with registration numbers visible on the hull, or hidden from view.
		Of those that do use prefixes a number keep their designations classified, so that none outside their borders can use even that information to their advantage.
