Civilian vs Military

[edit]

I note that under International navy ship prefixes most of the prefixes refer to military vessels. For the UK there is listed HMS, HMT, RMS and RFA. HMS is the standard for the Royal Navy, HMT refers to trawlers pressed into military service and under the command of the RN, RFA are civilian supply ships owned by and operated on behalf of the RN. RMS however refers to civilian ships operating under a contract to the government to carry mails as part of their other duties. Should civilian ships be in this list?

As I write this, there are 6 who watchlist this page. Perhaps a better forum for this question is WT:SHIPS.

As stated there, HMT has also been used for troopships and tankers. And HMHS has been used for hospital ships (e.g. HMHS Britannic.) Kablammo (talk) 15:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trappist the monk: uncontroversial minor c/e and resorting requires concensus now? Jay D. Easy (t) 02:04, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted the documentation transclusion and the categories; that doesn't seem to me to qualify as minor c/e and resorting.

I don't really understand the documentation. It looks like someone's to do list? Jay D. Easy (t) 14:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
