[edit] V/s?

What's V/s mean?

V/s is like the H.M.S. and U.S.S. codes, it stands for ,,varðskip‘‘ (guard ship, coastal defence ship) and is used for cannon armed Icelandic Coast Guard vessels. - 130.208.165.5 18:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military

Since when does Iceland have a military? Isn't more right to say "defence system" or something? Iceland does not have a military, thus the Icelandic Coast Guard cannot be part of it!

Actually it does, the Coast guard is the main part of it, and the crisis response unit and air defense system make up the rest of the Icelandic military
