	On old Earth, the {{wp\|United States Navy\|U.S. Navy}} began to assign unique Naval Registry Identification Numbers to its ships in the 1890s. The system was a simple one in which each ship received a number which was appended to its ship type, fully spelled out, and added parenthetically after the ship's name when deemed necessary to avoid confusion between ships. Under this system, for example, the battleship ''Indiana'' was USS ''Indiana'' (Battleship No. 1), the cruiser ''Olympia'' was USS ''Olympia'' (Cruiser No. 6), and so on. Beginning in 1907, some ships also were referred to alternatively by single-letter or three-letter codes—for example, USS Indiana (Battleship No. 1) could be referred to as USS ''Indiana'' (B-1) and USS ''Olympia'' (Cruiser No. 6) could also be referred to as USS ''Olympia'' (C-6), while USS ''Pennsylvania'' (Armored Cruiser No. 4) could be referred to as USS ''Pennsylvania'' (ACR-4). However, rather than replacing it, these codes coexisted and were used interchangeably with the older system until the modern system was instituted on 17 July 1920.<ref name="wp1">{{wpl\|Hull classification symbol}}</ref>		On old Earth, the {{wp\|United States Navy\|U.S. Navy}} began to assign unique Naval Registry Identification Numbers to its ships in the 1890s.

	Within the {{wp\|Royal Navy}}, the pennant system was adopted prior to World War I to distinguish between ships with the same or similar names, to reduce the size and improve the security of communications, and to assist recognition when ships of the same class are together. Traditionally, a pendant number was reported with a full stop "." between the flag superior or inferior and the number, although this practice has gradually been dropped, and inter-war photos after about 1924 tend not to have the full stop painted on the hull. The system was used throughout the navies of the British Empire so that a ship could be transferred from one navy to another without changing its pendant number.<ref name="wp2">{{wpl\|Pennant system}}</ref>		Within the {{wp\|Royal Navy}}, the pennant number system was adopted prior to World War I to distinguish between ships with the same or similar names, to reduce the size and improve the security of communications, and to assist recognition when ships of the same class are together.

A '''Hull Classification Symbol''' (''abbrev'': '''HCS''') is a method of naval vessel identification used by the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], the [[Grayson Space Navy]], the [[Imperial Andermani Navy]], and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]]. This symbol is sometimes referred to as a '''hull code''', or when paired with a specific hull number, a '''hull number''' or '''hull classification number''' (''abbrev'': '''HCN''').
