[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] S.S. was short for steam ship. Steam ships were in use from the early 1800's to the mid-1900's. One of the more famous of these steam ships was the [i]S.S. Great Eastern[/i] which laid the Atlantic telegraph cable in 1865. There was no evidence in Star Trek that every ship with Federation registry and not of Starfleet had a S.S. prefix. This prefix may be used only for a specific agency or consortium. My conjectural opinion was the S.S. may be short for space ship. We have another prefix which was only used once in Star Trek. In "The Corbomite Maneuver", I heard the prefix "United Earth Ship Enterprise", or U.E.S. Enterprise. A very minor continuity error. [/QB][/QUOTE]
