So.....

Canadians use HMCS Brits use HMS Yanks use USS or USN Aussies use HMAS

What would the NSL and FSE use as prefixes and what would they be (in german
or french and in translation)?

There must be an FSE or NSL guru out there....

I just discovered I need this tidbit to fill out my lead-in to the event
I'm working on for Lancaster.

thanks for the info.

According to my handy-dandy FB1, the NSL designation is KRS or
Kriegsraumschiff or in English (very rustily) Space War Ship. The FSE uses VFE
or Vaisseau Federal Europeen. Don't ask me to translate from the French
because the only time I ever was exposed to the language gave me a deep
loathing for it. (twitch,twitch)
