- Single or double digits – major combatants, training craft, small auxiliary vessels, old submarines
- 100-series – corvettes, old mine warfare vessels
- 200-series – destroyers
- 300-series – frigates
- 400-series – ocean patrol vessels
- 500-series – auxiliary support vessels
- 600-series – port services vessels
- 700-series – coastal patrol vessels, new mine warfare vessels
- 800-series – new submarines

Sailors have a whole different language that they use. Walls are called bulkheads, floors are decks, the bathroom is called the head
