− Hi BM, please don't use "(Vessel)" as a disambiguation for ships; always use the most accurate description possible, i.e. the specific class (if known), otherwise the type (DropShip, JumpShip, WarShip). I only use "Vessel" for ships that have the same name as their class, c.f. ''[[Quetzalcoatl (Individual Quetzalcoatl-class JumpShip)]]''.

:Hi Frabby, :Hi Frabby,
:I've specifically not been doing that to avoid confusion between articles about individual ships and articles about classes of ship - signifiers like (WarShip) are used for the articles on those classes of ship, like McKenna (WarShip) and Liberator (WarShip class). If you've made a policy decision then I'll abide by it, but I would argue that to follow your direction will potentially increase confusion between ship and design articles.
