[edit] To Whom It May Concern

A constant and hyper irritating ‘mistake’ made over and over again is shipo name etiquette: MILITRY VSLS ARE IN CAPS; Civilian vsls are not. Both are in Itallics. 4.246.120.29 (talk) 04:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Andering J REDDSON (USCG BM³ Reserve).

The quick answer to your observation is that for purposes of Wikipedia it was decided not to use all caps for military ship names. We do however, use italics as you noted. --Brad (talk) 04:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
