"Spy Ship" also refers to the 1942 film (*Spy ship at IMDb) but my wiki skills are limited to editing pre-existing pages. I have no idea how to create a new one. --Kitsunegami (talk) 20:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AGI / Soviet Naval Operations in Cold War

AGI might stand for "Auxiliary General Intelligence" and redirects to this article. Yet this article lacks any reference to any Soviet AGI types of vessels. (Needed), a willing Naval Veteran might write a lot about AGI, their methods of operations. etc (but also lack Wikipedia's desired references. The Vishnya-class intelligence ship and Balzam-class intelligence ship are examples of Soviet AGIs built in the 1980s. Wfoj3 (talk) 20:43, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UK Royal Navy

I see that there is no mention of the UK Royal Navy in this article but on second thoughts it is not so surprising after all. Some Royal Navy warships with a moderately large Comms department included one or more specially trained crew members whose chief responsibility for doing the same kind of thing that Spy Ships did, but whose activities did not come with visible signs on the superstructure of the ships. Sometimes the best spy ship is one that you don't think is a spy ship. Enough said.
