Hi Can anyone tell me please if a Ship has a name change (Mercahnt Navy) does the ship keep her original number please. Thanks Edie
Hi Edie, Yes, the ship kept her Official Number unless sold to foreign registry. If later repurchased by British owners, the same number was usually re-allocated.

Edie, British ships keep their original number. I don't know about others.
