Hi Patrick,

It is a while now since we last spoke, hope you are keeping well, you make a valid point, as you rightly say the vast majority of ships do show the name in upper case and of course you have the Cyrillic alphabet to consider so I feel it is a case of judgement, I would like to see upper case as a standard but we can be flexible and judge on merit.

Regards
Ken

I fully agree with Bob. Let's stop this argument. Would you like to copy the names which are sometimes applied by tape on the ship's bow by some poor illiterate bugger? And as far as the "old" days are concerned, I was quite happy with my big yearly volumes of the Lloyd's register. They gave the bookshelves a bit of distinction...
