MS Asterix vs MV Asterix
[edit]Although I know MV (Motor Vessel) and MS (Motor Ship) are generally used interchangeably, as far as I can tell the Asterix is technically designated MV as shown: http://www.janes.com/article/78390/mv-asterix-welcomed-to-rcn-will-deploy-to-rimpac http://www.lookoutnewspaper.com/naval-history-made-mv-asterix-added-fleet/ https://navaltoday.com/2018/03/06/royal-canadian-navy-commissions-mv-asterix/ Apparently Canada offically designates civilian boats and ships as Vessels so all powered civilian owned ships are designated as Motor Vessels (MV) http://www.rogerlitwiller.com/2017/07/23/mv-asterix-why-not-hmcs-asterix/ http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/oep-vesselreg-registration-menu-2311.htm smnc (talk) 18:04, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
