feel free to use, Brazilian Navy (Marinha do Brasil - MRB)
Thanks, I will review the current ones and replace them if needed or add these as new ones.
@ Nigo: I might sound a bit anal, but I do not believe that Brazil ever used ship prefixes - ie it should just be Riachuelo rather than MRB Riachuelo.
@ VI Imre: Similarly, the Germans in World War Two / after the end of the Kaiserreich in 1918, did not use ship prefixes either - ie it should just be Bismarck rather than KMS Bismarck.
I will keep it mind. However if Germany was winner during ww2 I guess they would have built a strong Kriegsmarine and used the prefixes. On the other hand I can't remember any accasions that the Soviets used them either.
If it's WWII shipnames that you're after, you might want to have a look at the CORE mod. The guys over there have put acres of time into compiling just such a list.
Well, that's great, I will look into it.
EDIT: Okay, I have reviewed various sources, and they say that KMS was not used by the german, it was usually given them by the western allies. I came to the conculsion that I will use prefixes for the nations that used them historically, so Germany and Brasil won't get any prefixes in the first version.
After Reviewing the CORE I belive that I will reuse as much of it as possible, that is a magnificent work. But there are still many a-historic countries that will need ship names, like England, Wales, Scotland, Federation of the West Indies etc. that could have a navy a real navy, and there are those who need a few more shipnames like Germany (by '52 I had more than 200 ships and there were no more light cruiser names.).
