[edit] Moving

I reverted the name for readability as much as that common practice seems to put a space between MTB and the number. GraemeLeggett 20:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) the article should be named HMS MTB102 for consistency with HMS A1, HMS E11, HMS M1 etc. But maybe there's a good reason for it to be different? Gdr 21:17, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

It doesn't appear to have a pennant number per se, consider the examples of U 238 etc. I am looking for examples of how the Navy did it. GraemeLeggett 21:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've found no examples of MTB's taking HMS before there number. so it goes to "MTB 102" GraemeLeggett 09:28, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
