The T-72 is a Soviet-designed main battle tank that entered production in 1973. It replaced the T-54/55 series as the workhorse of Soviet tank forces (while the T-64 and T-80 served as the Soviet high-technology tanks).
Derrycunihy was a general-purpose cargo ship of 10,200 tons built (yard number 275) by Burntisland Shipbuilding Company for McGowan & Gross of London. Because of critical shipping requirements during the Second World War she had been built at great speed: her keel was laid on 22 June 1943, she was launched on 11 November the same year, and was delivered on 26 February 1944.

The United States Department of Defense (DOD) expands on the NATO reporting names in some cases. NATO refers to surface-to-air missile systems mounted on ships or submarines with the same names as the corresponding land-based systems, but the US DOD assigns a different series of numbers with a different prefix (i.e., SA-N- versus SA-) for these systems.
The list of naval ships of Germany includes all naval ships which have been in service of the German Navy or its predecessors. Other lists include:
"Nasty Nick" – USS Nicholas, name given by crew due to the proclivity of the ship's AC units to break down in hot weather. "Nelly" – HMS Nelson – also "Nelsol" – from fleet oilers with names ending in "ol" that the Nelson class looked similar to in silhouette. "Niffy Jane" – HMS Iphigenia "NO Boat" – USS New Orleans
