Meh it doesn't matter. My grandad served in the navy then the merchant navy, my dad and uncle both served in the navy.
All of them told me a few years ago that a boat went underwater and a ship was on top of water in the navy but my grandad said in the merchant navy a ship was an ocean going vessel and a boat was inland.
I wasn't looking for an argument i just thought ged was having a joke so i tried to reply jokingly.
Meh the written word is harder to decipher than the spoken.
So we are all right we were just using knowledge we had of a term attributed to specific specialisations and assumed that it was correct for all.
Big hug?
