SV or STS?

The Tenacious is noted as the STS (sail training ship) in the text, but the SV (sail vessel) in the name. So, which is it? A ship only has one prefix, so she isn't both.31.208.103.192 (talk) 13:17, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Ships can be referred to with different prefixes for a variety of reasons, often the preference of the writer for the propulsion type (eg SV, SS, MV, MS), function (eg STS, MT, FV, RMS) or affiliation (eg HMS, USS). - Davidships (talk) 00:37, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

"The largest wooden ship still afloat"

This claim, cited to Belfast City Council, seems questionable at best, particularly as the BCC doesn't specify its criteria. Elsewhere in the source they do refer to the vessel's length (65m) and displacement (c.690 tonnes). There are other wooden ships afloat that are longer and of higher displacement, most obviously USS Constitution (93m, 1576 tons displacement). - Davidships (talk) 01:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes there is similar claims made about the Götheborg, which is I think a bit higher tonnage but shorter but as you point out they have forgotten the USS Constitution. There is another, technically a yacht, the Creole, which is a foot longer than the Tenacious. However, the metric afloat is considerably last demanding and there are additional examples.
