For a layman, it's difficult to grasp whose branch the abbreviations are reffering to by a quick glance. For example, RMN, RNoN, RN, RNZN, RDN and RNN sound so awfully similiar that it's really difficult to recognize the country the ships belong to. Suggestion to expand the "branch" column with quick visual information aids that could help in recognizing them. Examples for suggestions I can think of are following: Adding the country flag icon left of the branch name, adding the branch insignia icon left of the branch name, expanding the name of the abbreviation - e. g. "RNN (Royal Netherlands Navy)". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.168.42.120 (talk) 10:56, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
