Thanks James

Much appreciated

Many warships are classed these days, and therefore carry a class identity number. The IMO Number is the Lloyd's Register ID Number (IMO numbers were originally derived from the LR system)

person

Thanks Ken,
Just wondered if it was because pre-commissioning she was (in this case) flying the red ensign and thus warranted the IMO number.

This is a question I dealt with a while ago, I was reliably informed that many warships are issued with an IMO number but rarely use it, upon being commissioned the Pennant Number is the preferred means for identification.
Kind regards

Q. Do naval ships retain their IMO once commissioned?

I've noticed a number of naval ship photos on the site have IMO numbers added
