DDS to change ship numbering scheme / Rome

Windscorpion has said that the DDS will change the pennant numbering scheme for it's warships from the Standard Numbering Scheme which has been in use since the early 2090s. Windy said it would be part of the fleet reorganisation and part of the removing of the "stench of Hoodism" (even though the scheme originated in the rule of The Shiner). The new scheme would include a type code for the ship. A DDS spokesman said, although the new scheme was yet to be finalised, it was likely a cruiser like 1006 North America for example would be renumbered C106.

It is also thought the DDS will reclassify the Rome OPV as a Corvette.
