Veridian Union Navy: Difference between revisions

 

===Ships===

The names of commissioned ships of the V.U. Navy are prefixed with the letters "VUS", designating "Veridian Union Ship". Non-commissioned, civilian-manned vessels of the navy have names that begin with "VUNS", standing for "Veridian Union Naval Ship" The names of ships are officially selected by the Military Council, often to honor important people or places. Additionally, each ship is given a letter-based hull classification symbol (for example, CVN or DDG) to indicate the vessel's type and number. All ships in the navy inventory are placed in the Naval Vessel Register, which is part of "the Navy List." The register tracks data such as the current status of a ship, the date of its commissioning, and the date of its decommissioning. Vessels that are removed from the register prior to disposal are said to be ''stricken'' from the register. The Navy also maintains a reserve fleet of inactive vessels that are maintained for reactivation in times of need.
