The first British P-8A has personal name

[Max the Mad Russian]

Gents,

The first RAF Poseidon MRA.1 boasts personal name, Pride of Moray. Two days ago RAF No 120 Squadron received this airplane. There possibly will be the full squadron of "prides". I know USAF has a habit to give the big wing the names, what about USN MPRA? Is there any American Poseidon with personal name?

Max, little known fact, every aircraft in Naval Aviation bears the area code of either the pilot or the crew chief. Big black numbers near the nose of the aircraft. Shouldn’t be sharing that in an open unclassified environment, but you seem like one of the good guys, and I’ve always had a soft place in my heart for Belarussians.

Don't be, we're little stupid crowd fooled by Russians constantly. But ok, thanks for explanations. Aside, you always write not only name but the place of origin too. Small hint on beloved times when America was truely federal state...
Look, in Russia only the "ships" can bear the personal name. In our air force parlance the "aircraft" is something less than 20 meters of lengh. "Ship" is 20+. Thus MiG-25 is an aircraft, one of many, MiG-31 is a Ship and could be given personal name. Foolish pride, right?
Again, thanks a lot.
