Oh, and yes, Kaleuns could ascertain the ship's name (sometimes) and did add it to their KTBs.

Here's one such example... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/annemar...ll/canktb.html I think it's a good example (there's an English translation) of how ship names and weights were ascertained.

Thanks very much for that information. Interesting to read an actual log and it was great of it to be translated into English. Although not using the exact terminology as that Captain did. I keep a similar type journal on my missions which are published in my Enemybeneath web site.
