Italics for CURV-III
Why isn't a vessel such as CURV-III spelled in italics? I can see why the CURV programme itself isn't, but why not individual vessels, as is the norm with sea-going craft? Ditto the YFNX-30 and XN-3? After all, Pisces III is given in italics. Ericoides (talk) 09:14, 17 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I suspect it may be because it's and acronym rather than a given "name". However, the best place to ask this is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships, where they will know exactly what the policy is. They don't bite. Alansplodge (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Because that's what the US Navy does (or doesn't do). That is all ye know on Wikipedia, and all ye need to know. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:35, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
