Post by: RMSGreatBritain on December 29, 2008, 16:48:51: 'M' does not stand for modern. It stands for motor or mail, like motor ship/mail ship, motor vessel etc. And I dont believe SS stands for Sunk ship, just steam ship I think.

Post by: freddythefish007 on November 13, 2010, 21:07:28: Also, every Sea Cadet unit is given a T.S name.

e.g Stoke-on-Trent Unit = T.S Talent.

These T.S names are usually based around Royal Navy affiliations. In our case, we are affliated with H.M.S Talent, a Trafalgar class submarine.
