They rechristened her HMS Kirkcudbright.<p>For some of the SWDAO registry prefixes, is it possible that something similar has occurred (eg. Starfleet loaning the USS Raven to a research group, making it SS Raven)??<P>------------------<BR>WARNING: Storing semtex in the microwave<br>may be hazardous to your health!<br> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Hobbes</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,5,18,14,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">June 18, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:24 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Post Erased<p>Hobbes<br>9906.18<p>------------------<br>Got Trek?<p><p><p><p><p><br><small>[This message was edited by Hobbes on June 18, 1999.]</small><p><small>[This message was edited by Hobbes on June 19, 1999.]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Cargile</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,5,19,1,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">June 19, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">01:23 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Possible, but the Raven prefix was not an action of Starfleet, but of the Trek Production. In such case I have to stand on the idea that any new episodial information reguarding a ship, negates any earlier episodial information. Saying so, I hold the Raven to be an USS.<p>But the other points you make are valid, and I'm sure that Starfleet has plenty of special situations where names are changed.
