[edit] R for Aircraft carriers

What is the logic behind R for aircraft carriers? The other seems logically like Frigate, Patrol, Minesweeper, Auxiliary and so on. Necessary Evil 16:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

My completely unsourced guess is that you may have just answered your own question (with A being taken by Auxiliary). I'd love to see a real answer, though - and it points out that this article is completely unreferenced, thus I will tag it as such. Maralia 16:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't have the foggiest idea, but how about R for Runway? --130.225.204.58 19:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
