Thanks for sharing Steve. I really enjoyed out chat too. Hopefully we will have a chance to continue the discussion next time around.

@Steve

I am now in possession of my fathers merchant navy discharge book.

Give me a few days to scan the pages and I'll zip them up in a file for you.

He informs me that all vessels with steam engines were prefaced with SS and similarly those that weren't steam were prefaced with MV......pretty much as we suspected.

Thanks, Jim. I wanted to use the USAT and MoWT prefixes for fun, but I was pretty sure they didn't really use them in service.

Would have been a nice change, though.

Sounds like a good time was had by all Sailor Steve. Was in SLC week of the 6th to visit wife's relatives. Went on the tour of FT. Douglas. ( what's left of it)

I'll have to try and orgainse and Australian Subsim get together one day:hmm:. That will just have to remain a dream at the moment, as there are some family issues that need to be dealt with

I do remember, but my minor corrections turned into a long and very boring story. I figured that the least I could do was spare the rest of you from pages of tripe.
