Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships)/FAQ


 * Q:US Navy ships prior to commissioning should be prefixed PCU and not USS!
 * A:While this would be militarily correct, WP:NC-SHIP requires using USS to designate the ship as belonging to the United States. Separating ships by nationality is important for Wikipedia to avoid confusion with other Navies of the world.
 * Q:US Navy ship names are supposed to be written in ALL CAPS!
 * A:For purposes of adhering to the WP:MOS we use USS Lower Case and not USS UPPER CASE.
