Simply Bluenose= S/V Bluenose. Steam vessel = SS Trout. Motor vessel = M/V
Trout. Nuclear powered = N/V Trout. Naval = HMCS, HMS, HMNS,HMAS USNS Trout.
Mail ships used RMS Trout ages ago.

Subject: Naming Ships


I would like to throw out a question for the nautical minded masters out
there.

I am having a "discussion" regarding the naming convention for ships. I
contend that a ship's name is never preceded by "the".  In otherwords, Nova
Scotia's famous schooner "Bluenose" would not be referred to as "the
Bluenose" but simply "Bluenose"

Comments anyone?

Robert Eno
