For instructions on how to make ship names appear in italics in article titles, see {{Infobox ship begin}}.
This guideline documents an English Wikipedia naming convention.
It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.

This guideline describes Wikipedia's conventions for naming articles about ships and for referring to ships in the body of articles. See Wikipedia:Article titles for more general naming conventions. See WikiProject Ships for more guidance on writing articles about ships.
Ships share names with people, places, animals and other things. Articles about ships must be named to distinguish them from other similarly-named ships, as well as from other things with which they share a name.

11 Notes
Naming articles about civilian ships[edit]
For a full list of ship prefixes, see Ship prefix.
Civilian ship articles should follow standard Wikipedia naming conventions. These rules apply to named boats and yachts as well as to ships.
A typical civilian ship article name has the following form:
<optional prefix> <italicized name> <(optional disambiguation)>[Note 1]
Optional prefix
An article about a ship not known to have a prefix should use only the ship's name, if that name is unambiguous:
Niña
Since the optional prefix is, in fact, optional, it may be omitted for ships with unambiguous names even when common prefixes (e.g. MS or MV) are sometimes used for them in other sources:
Celebrity Equinox instead of MV Celebrity Equinox
However, if a ship is best known in combination with a ship prefix, include the prefix in the article name. Use of the prefix can also provide disambiguation:
SS John W. Brown compared to John W. Brown
PS Waverley compared to Waverley
If a ship has had more than one prefix during its lifetime, choose the best-known for the article and create a redirect from the other prefixed names:
RMS Titanic should have a redirect from SS Titanic
Italicized name
Ship names are always italicized.
Niña not Niña
Optional disambiguation
When the name is ambiguous, append disambiguation information in parentheses. The date of launching can be used if there are several ships with the same name:
Santa Maria (ship) compared to Santa Maria
Naming articles about military ships[edit]
For a full list of ship prefixes, see Ship prefix.
Military ship articles should follow standard Wikipedia naming conventions. These rules apply to both named and unnamed vessels.
A typical military ship article name has the following form:
<prefix> <italicized name> <(hull or pennant number or disambiguation)>[Note 1]
Many military ships and boats were not named and are known only by their hull or pennant number. See §Ships with hull number only.
Some navies don't use standard ship prefixes. See §Ships from navies without ship prefixes
Prefix
For ships of navies that have standard ship prefixes, use the prefix in the article name.
USS Monitor
HMS Queen Mary
SMS Seydlitz
Do not use punctuation within the ship prefix:
USS Monitor not U.S.S. Monitor
Do not use the hull classification symbol as a prefix:
USS Nimitz not CVN Nimitz
Do not use prefixes that predate their use, even though some authors sometimes "backdate" prefixes in this way. In particular, do not use the HMS prefix for English ships from before 1660. The term "His Majesty's Ship" was introduced around 1660 and was routinely abbreviated HMS from about 1780 onwards.
Henry Grace à Dieu not HMS Henry Grace à Dieu.
Italicized name
Ship names are always italicized.
HMS Dreadnought not HMS Dreadnought
Hull or pennant number or disambiguation See §Disambiguating ships with the same name.
For an article about a modern-day ship, include the ship's hull number (US Navy hull classification symbol) or pennant numbers (Royal Navy, and many European and Commonwealth navies), if it is available, sufficiently unique, and well known.[Note 1]
USCGC Alert (WMEC-127) and USCGC Alert (WMEC-630) (hull number disambiguation)
HMS Illustrious (R87) and HMS Illustrious (R06) (pennant number disambiguation)
HMS Royal Scotsman (only one ship of the name – requires no disambiguation)
For a ship that does not have a hull and pennant number, and especially when more than one ship had the name, disambiguate the article name with the ship's launch year.
HMS Victorious (1785) and HMS Victorious (1895) (launch year disambiguation)
In instances where a ship was captured or otherwise acquired by a navy and the article is placed at that title, use the date of capture or entry to the navy, rather than the date of launch, so the name and prefix are in agreement with the date disambiguation.
HMS Canopus (1798) rather than HMS Canopus (1797)
At Wikipedia, US Navy and US Coast Guard hull numbers are hyphenated (the US Navy itself is not consistent in this respect). Coast Guard hull numbers always start with a "W". Pennant numbers do not have a hyphen or space (this matches the number as it typically appears on the side of the ship). Note that not all pennant numbers have an initial letter ("flag superior"), for example HMS Ark Royal (91). Also note that in recent decades the Australian and Canadian navies have moved towards American-style three letter pennant number prefixes. These should be written with a space, for example HMCS Vancouver (FFH 331).
If a ship had several hull numbers in her career, use the best-known for an article title. In the article's lead section list all of her hull numbers. Make redirects from the others:
USS Bogue (CVE-9) should have redirects from USS Bogue (ACV-9) and USS Bogue (CVHP-9)
USS Bogue CVE-9/ACV-9/CVHP-9 is best known for her actions in the Second Battle of the Atlantic, when she was CVE-9.
If none of the several hull numbers is clearly the best-known, use the first:
USS Goldsborough (DD-188) should have redirects from USS Goldsborough (AVP-18), USS Goldsborough (AVD-5), and USS Goldsborough (APD-32)
Ships from navies without ship prefixes[edit]
Some navies or nations don't use standard ship prefixes. Titles for articles about these ships have the form:
<nationality> <type> <italicized name>
Nationality
The ship's country in adjective form:
Brazilian
Japanese
Ottoman
German (though early German ships use SMS)
Type
Do not be over-specific about the ship type:
Japanese aircraft carrier Chitose not Japanese light aircraft carrier Chitose
Italicized name
Ship names are always italicized.
Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov
German battleship Bismarck
Do not make up a ship prefix for a navy that did not use one. Thus:
German battleship Bismarck not DKM Bismarck
Japanese battleship Yamato not HIJMS Yamato or IJN Yamato
Italian battleship Giulio Cesare not RM Giulio Cesare
Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov not RFS Admiral Kuznetsov
Some authors use invented prefixes for consistency with "USS", "HMS" etc. It was not a mistake for these authors to do that in their own works, but at Wikipedia we choose not to do so. To forestall attempts to move articles to the wrong place, you might want to add redirects from popular invented ship prefixes.
Japanese battleship Yamato could have redirects from IJN Yamato and HIJMS Yamato.
Ships with hull number only[edit]
Many types of ship, such as American PT boats and German U-boats, are officially known only by a hull number. In these cases, it can be best to spell out the ship type (e.g. German submarine U-238), but be sure the ship type name is correct. In many cases, the designation is not an abbreviation and may not relate directly to a ship's class or even type. For example, PT-658 can be a redirect to the main article Motor Torpedo Boat PT-658, but U-238 must be disambiguated, because U-238 also refers to Uranium 238.
Articles about vessels with a numerical name should be titled like HMS A1, HMS E11, HMS M1 etc.
Naming articles about ship classes[edit]
Articles about a ship class should follow standard Wikipedia naming conventions.
A typical ship class article name has the following form:
<class name>-class <ship type>
Class name
A ship class may be named for a member of the class (usually the first or lead ship) or the class may be named for an attribute common to all of the ships of the class. When the class is named for a member of the class, the class name is italicized. When the class is named for a common theme or attribute, the class name is not italicized.
Evergreen State is a member of the Evergreen State class
HMT Juniper is a member of the Tree class
not HMT Juniper is a member of the Tree class
Ship type
The type of ship that comprises the class: aircraft carrier, trawler, frigate, icebreaker. Do not be overly specific in the type:
aircraft carrier not light escort fleet assault carrier
Use the singular form of the ship type
submarine not submarines
Uses of the class name as a noun are not hyphenated, while adjectival references are hyphenated. Article names that follow the form just described are adjectival because the compound phrase made up of <class name> and "class" modifies the noun <ship type>. As such, article titles should be hyphenated.
Evergreen State-class ferry not Evergreen State class ferry
Tree-class trawler not Tree class trawler
In article titles and in article text, use a hyphen; do not use an en dash (–) or em dash (—).
Tree-class trawler not Tree–class trawler or Tree—class trawler
Using ship names in articles[edit]
A ship's name is always italicized. Prefixes, hull or pennant numbers, and disambiguation are rendered in normal upright font.
USS Nimitz not USS Nimitz or USS Nimitz
Use the ship's prefix the first time you introduce the ship, thereafter, omit it. You need not give the prefix at all if it is obvious from the context (for example, in a list of ships of the Royal Navy there is no need to repeat "HMS" each time). In case of civilian ships, consider omitting common prefixes (e.g. "MS") from the article body as italicizing the ship's name is often enough to identify it as a ship.
Do not use the definite article ("the") before a prefix or when introducing a ship for the first time; e.g., at the beginning of the lead section:
HMS Victory was ... not The HMS Victory was ...
Generally, a definite article is not needed before a ship's name, although its use is not technically wrong:
Victory was Nelson's flagship ... (preferred)
The Victory was Nelson's flagship ... (not recommended)
Make a link from the first mention of each ship in an article, even if Wikipedia does not yet have an article about that ship. If you do not know how to disambiguate it, link to the index page for its name: this will allow the link to be found and fixed later.
Do not give the hull number or other disambiguation information unless it is immediately relevant. Someone who needs to know can follow the link:
Vanguard was Nelson's ... not Vanguard (1787) was Nelson's ...
Yorktown was sunk ... not Yorktown (CV-5) was sunk ...
"the later Lexington (CV-16) was laid down as Cabot but renamed in honour of the earlier Lexington (CV-2)"—disambiguation information is needed.
Always use the full name of the ship unless there exists a widely used shortening akin to a nickname. Do not omit parts of the name just because they are, for example, common for all ships of a shipping company.
Edward M. Cotter not Cotter
Possessive form of a ship's name[edit]
When using the possessive form of a ship's name in articles, use the {{'}} template to provide proper styling and avoid coding problems that can occur when an apostrophe follows italicized text. The apostrophe and "s" are not italicized:
Linked names: {{USS|Ticonderoga||2}}{{'}}s displays as Ticonderoga's
Regular names: ''Ticonderoga''{{'}}s displays as Ticonderoga's
Pronouns[edit]
Shortcut:
WP:SHE4SHIPS
For the naming convention for military vessels, see WP:SHIPPRONOUNS.
Ships may be referred to by either feminine pronouns ("she", "her") or neuter pronouns ("it", "its"). Either usage is acceptable, but each article should be internally consistent and employ one or the other exclusively. As with all optional styles, articles should not be changed from one style to another unless there is a substantial reason to do so.
Using ship class names in articles[edit]
A ship class can take the name of a class member or it can take a name that is thematically common to all members of the class. When the class takes its name from a member of the class, the name is italicized:
Benjamin Franklin-class submarine
Thematically common class names are rendered in normal font:
Town-class destroyer
Admiral-class battlecruiser
Additionally, ship class names have a noun form and an adjectival form:
Natick class (noun form)
Natick-class fleet tug (adjectival form)
When creating links to ship-class articles, useful editing shortcut templates are: {{sclass}} (italicized font); {{sclass-}} (italicized font, hyphenated); {{sclass2}} (normal font); and {{sclass2-}} (normal font, hyphenated). See the template documentation for usage guidelines.
Use the noun form when the class name does not modify another noun:
Construction of the Natick class began at ...
... last tugboat of the Natick class.
Use the adjectival form when the class name modifies another noun:
Natick-class names ...
... two Natick-class z-drive tugs ...
Disambiguating ships with the same name[edit]
Shortcut:
WP:SHIPDAB
It is extremely common for many ships to share a name. Therefore disambiguation needs special attention.
For older ships predating the modern pennant/hull number system, the most widely recognisable fact about the ship is its date of launch or construction. This is a unique identifier for a ship with a particular name in navies where names are customarily re-used and is applicable generally to all ships, unlike local naval identification numbers:
HMS Vanguard (1748)
HMS Vanguard (1787)
HMS Vanguard (1835)
In instances where a ship was captured or otherwise acquired by a navy or shipping company, or simply renamed, and the article is placed at that title, use the date that is in agreement with the name and prefix (such as the date capture or entry to the navy or fleet, or the date of the renaming) rather than the date of launch.
HMS Canopus (1798) rather than HMS Canopus (1797)
In a few cases, one ship is so much better-known than her namesakes that she need not be disambiguated:
the article for Horatio Nelson's flagship is HMS Victory; other Victorys are listed at List of ships named HMS Victory.
the article for Charles Darwin's vessel of exploration is HMS Beagle; other Beagles are listed at List of ships named HMS Beagle.
It should be noted that European navies reuse pennant numbers, so ships of the same name may have the same pennant numbers; the second and third RFA Sir Galahad (L3005), for example are disambiguated by launch year:
RFA Sir Galahad (1966)
RFA Sir Galahad (1987)
Make an index page that lists all the ships in a navy with the same name:
USS Enterprise lists 8 USS Enterprises
HMS Vanguard lists 10 HMS Vanguards
For well-known names that are shared between navies, or between military and civilian ships, also disambiguate at the usual Wikipedia disambiguation page for the name:
Nautilus (disambiguation) refers to ships named Nautilus.
Discovery refers to ships named Discovery.
Ships that changed name or nationality[edit]
An article about a ship that changed name or nationality should be placed at the best-known name, with a redirect from the other name:
Article at HMS Royal Charles (1655), with a redirect from Commonwealth ship Naseby
Article at Cutty Sark, with a redirect at Maria do Amparo
Article at Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, with a redirect from Soviet aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov
But if the ship had significant careers in two navies, it may be best to create two articles with one ending at the transfer and the other beginning then, depending on how long the articles are and how extensive the transformation of the ship.
USS Phoenix (CL-46) became ARA General Belgrano
Ships whose class and designation changed[edit]
If an entire class of ships was reclassified (such as in the 1975 USN ship reclassification), be consistent and make the decision once for all the ships of the class:
The Knox- and Garcia-class frigates are named with the FF (frigate) classification, not DE (destroyer escort). (Justification: known as frigates for the majority of their service.)
The Castle-class corvettes are named with pennant numbers starting K, not F. (Justification: best known for service during World War II.)
Ship class articles[edit]
Articles about a ship class should be named (Lead ship name)-class (type); for example, Ohio-class submarine. Do not be overly specific in the type; for example, use "aircraft carrier", not "light escort fleet assault carrier". Use the singular form of the ship type; for example, "submarine", not "submarines".
Uses of the class as a noun are not hyphenated, while adjectival references are hyphenated, as in Ohio-class submarine: if in doubt, do not hyphenate. Note the separation of submarine as a separate link; this is not required, but does allow the reader to look up the general term directly instead of being plunged into the technical discussion of a ship class.
When the class is named after a member of the class, italicize the class name, for example the Lion class of battlecruisers is named after HMS Lion. But when the class is not named after a member of the class, the class name is not italicized, for example the Battle class of destroyers is named after battles; there is no HMS Battle that is a member of that class.
Ship classes may need to be disambiguated:
By nationality:
United States Porpoise-class submarine
British Porpoise-class submarine
By date:
King George V-class battleship (1911)
King George V-class battleship (1939)
Country and navy-specific articles[edit]
Articles which name the country or navy in the article title should conform to the country-specific guidelines. This states that:
In general, country-specific articles should be named using the form: "(item) of (country)"... This will usually hold true in other geography-specific topics, such as for cities, continents, provinces, states, etc.
Note navies are country or geography-specific.
List of ships of the line of Italy not List of Italian ships of the line
List of naval ships of Portugal not List of Portuguese naval ships
List of ships of the Canadian Navy not List of Canadian Navy ships
Early naval vessels of New Zealand not Early New Zealand naval vessels
Coastal Forces of the Royal Navy not Royal Navy Coastal Forces
Notes[edit]
^ Jump up to: a b c If there is only one ship of the name, it is wrong to disambiguate, per WP:PRECISE.

The Brunei dollar (Malay: ringgit Brunei, currency code: BND), has been the currency of the Sultanate of Brunei since 1967. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively B$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 sen (Malay) or cents (English). The Brunei dollar is issued by the Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam (Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam). The name is the same in Malaysian ringgit, but the MYR has its own name.
Under a Currency Interchangeability Agreement in 1967, the Brunei dollar is interchangeable with the Singapore dollar at par. As such, the Brunei dollar is accepted in Singapore as "customary tender"; likewise, the Singapore dollar is accepted for payments in Brunei.[1]

Main article: Brunei pitis
Early currency in Brunei included cowrie shells. Brunei is also famous for its bronze teapots, which were used as currency in barter trade along the coast of northern Borneo.
Brunei issued tin coins denominated in pitis in AH1285 (AD1868). These were followed by a one cent coin in AH1304 (AD1888). This cent was one hundredth of a Straits dollar.
As a protectorate of Britain in the early 20th century, Brunei used the Straits dollar from 1906, the Malayan dollar from 1939 and the Malaya and British Borneo dollar from 1953 until 1967, when it began issuing its own currency.
The Brunei dollar replaced the Malaya and British Borneo dollar in 1967 after the formation of Malaysia and the independence of Singapore. Until 23 June 1973, the Malaysian ringgit was exchangeable at par with the Singapore dollar and Brunei dollar. The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board (now the Authoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam (Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam) still maintain the exchangeability of their two currencies. The dollar is accepted as "customary tender" in Singapore according to the Currency Interchangeability Agreement,[2] although it is not legal tender there.
Coins were used in Brunei from the 10th century. The Straits dollar was also used in Brunei from 1906.
History of coins used in Brunei[edit]
Due to the close ties between China and Brunei, the first type of coins used in Brunei were Chinese coins. This was initially called ‘Pitis’. They were later known as ‘Kue’ when local ‘Pitis’ were introduced.[3][4] The local ‘Pitis’ coins had ‘Sultanate of Brunei’ stamped in front of the coin and the royal umbrella was imprinted at the back. These were issued from the 16th to the 19th century. Previous Islamic coins were also called the ‘Pitis’.[5] Another type of coin that was used in Brunei were ‘Duit besi’ (which roughly translates to ‘Iron money’). Iron was considered valuable those days that it was used as money. 100 one-square inch pieces were valued at 1 dollar.[4]
The last coin to be issued before the introduction of the Straits Settlements currency was the ‘Duit Bintang’, otherwise known as the ‘Star coin’ or the 'Star Cent'.[3] It is called the Star coin because of the star imprinted on the obverse of the coin. It was minted in Birmingham, England, in 1887.[3] It was made from copper.
With the introduction of the Straits Settlements currency, the previously used coins were taken out of circulation. They were, however still used with certain exchange rates.[4]
History of banknotes used in Brunei[edit]
One Straits dollar banknote from 1935
The Straits dollar was introduced in Brunei in 1906. It was later replaced by the Malayan dollar which was introduced to British colonies and Brunei in 1939. It replaced the Straits dollar at par with a 1:1 exchange rate. The Malayan dollar was issued by the Board of Commissioners of Currency in Malaya. The board stopped issuing the Malayan dollar during the Japanese invasion during World War II. The Malayan dollar had the portrait of King George VI in front of the note.[3]
In 1952, the board was renamed the Board of Commissioners of Malaya and British Borneo. The board then began to issue notes to Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, British North Borneo, and Brunei in 1953. This was known as the Malaya and British Borneo dollar.[3] In 1967, the Malaya and British Borneo dollar was replaced by three new currencies: the Malaysian dollar, Singapore dollar and the Brunei dollar, all at par.[6]
The Singapore dollar is still interchangeable with the Brunei dollar today.[5]
Coins[edit]
Main article: Coins of the Brunei dollar
In 1967, coins were introduced in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents. Except for the bronze 1 cent, the coins were struck in cupro-nickel. In 1986, copper-clad steel replaced bronze.[7] Later, in 2008, the 1 cent coins switched compositions to brass.
Banknotes[edit]
On 12 June 1967,[8] the government (Kerajaan Brunei) introduced notes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 dollars. Notes for 500 and 1000 dollars followed in 1979. In 1989, the title on the paper money was changed to Negara Brunei Darussalam, the official name of the country, and the Malay term for “State of Brunei, Abode of Peace.” 10,000 dollar notes were introduced the same year. All notes bear the denomination in Malay (in both Rumi and Jawi) and in English. The English denomination appeared on the obverse below the denomination in Malay on the earlier series, but now appears on the reverse together with the Jawi.
Five series of notes have been issued. The colours of $1, $5, and $10 notes have been the same for all the series of banknotes. [1]
1967 series[edit]

Second series – This series was the same as the first series with exception that the portrait of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin was replaced by the portrait of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the 29th and current ruler of Brunei. All subsequent currency has the portrait of Hassanal Bolkiah. In addition, two new higher denominations were issued in 1979.
$1 ~ $100 like 1967 series

The S$10,000 and B$10,000 notes are the world's most valuable banknotes, worth USD 8000 as of September 2014 (that are officially in circulation).[10] They are worth eight times as much as the next most valuable, the 1000 Swiss franc note (USD 1063).
2011 polymer series[edit]
$1 – blue (2011)[11]
$5 – green and yellow (2011)[12]
$10 – red, yellow and brown (2011)[13]
To commemorate the 65th birthday of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.[14] Shortly after the notes were issued, the Braille dots on the upper left front corner of the new polymer notes are not raised. The Braille dots cannot be felt tactilely, and they are not accurately rendered as Braille numbers corresponding to the denominations. Specifically, the spacing of the dots is wrong, and they lack the lead-in character that indicates that numbers follow.[15][16]
Commemorative banknotes[edit]
$25 – purple and beige (1992)
This was issued during the silver jubilee (25th anniversary) of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah acceding to the throne. The design is of the 1989 series of currency.
$20 – yellow (polymer, 2007)
On 27 June 2007, Singapore and Brunei celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Currency Interchangeability Agreement (since 12 June 1967) by joint-issuing commemorative $20 notes.[17]
The two authorities issue distinct versions of the new $20 notes. They are both yellow, 149 × 72 mm in size, and made of polymer. The reverses are almost identical except that the Brunei version has their state title in Jawi script, while the Singaporean version has the state title of Brunei in Latin script.[18] The obverse of the Singaporean version is similar to the current Portrait Series, whereas the obverse of the Brunei version is similar to the $50 and $100 of the 2004 series.
There is a limited edition set, which consists of both versions in a folder, with matching serial number. The notes have "40th Anniversary Currency Interchangeability Agreement" overprinted on obverse. In addition, the Singaporean version has the two countries' state crests above the commemorative text. Only 12,000 sets are available, 10,000 from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and 2,000 from the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board.[18]
The circulation version has been available since 16 July 2007.[19]
$50 - yellow (polymer, 2017)
In 2017, both Brunei and Singapore issued $50 polymer banknotes in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of its Currency Interchangeability Agreement.[20]
$50 - yellow (polymer, 2017)
In 2017, the Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam (Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam) issued a $50 polymer banknote to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sultan Hassan al-Bolkiah's accession to the throne.
