[edit] In or On a ship?

Here in Britain, I have always experienced the term "on" a ship used when referring to where people and equipment are stationed.

So, for example, I would say "Xelous is on HMS Sheffield". Not "Xelous is in HMS Sheffield".

I wonder where does this "in" inflection come from, and do we feel it should be in or on, so that the article can be left or corrected as needed?

- Xelous - 22nd June 2007.

changed the name of one of the combatants to Germany. "Nazi Germany" isn't a country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.127.27.108 (talk) 10:18, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
