Encyclopaedic Interlude No.5: Order of Battle of the Royal Navy as of December 2875

Name/Pennant Number

"Following the 4th (fourth) Amendment of the Royal Navy Law of 2276 CE, His Auroran Majesty's Royal Navy will be required from January 1 (one) 2492 CE (Galactic Relative) to furnish commissioned men-of-war with an interstellarly legal pennant number, containing both a flag superior and an individual identification number for each commissioned man-of-war. Note that hull classification flag superiors are overriding in regards to legal seniority. The pennant number shall be displayed alongside the electronic signature code that is passively emitted, and will take primary rank over the flag code of a flag officer, but not the signature that denotes royal status. As such, a royal yacht will always have its crown signature displayed over the pennant number, but no commodore, rear admiral, vice admiral, or admiral may have their colour-coded seniority flag over the pennant number of their flagship. If there should exist confusion as to the man-of-war's true hull classification, if in case the weight in normal-gee surpasses usual class standards, or if the armament is deemed too extreme or inferior, the pennant number will prove the final say in ship-recognition and classification for Action Information Centre (AIC) and battlespace mapping purposes [...] Ships of heavy cruiser size/classification and up are to be considered capital ships for the sake of nomenclature purposes, as in heavy cruisers (hull classification CA), battlecruisers (hull classification BC), battleships (hull classification BA), and carriers (hull classification CV). Note that as of the date of this amendment's writing, battlecruisers and carriers are retired categories for warships, and have not been made since the water-going navies of Earth pre-Light Way discovery."

Excerpt from HL 32.31-14/HC 73.24-8, the "Signals Act" of 2492 which required the Royal Navy to electronically and physically label their ships by not only names, but also by electronic signatures and interstellarly recognisable pennant numbers.
