UEEF Ship Prefixes

Does anyone know what the Expeditionary Forces's ship prefix is (if any)? I'm talking the little code before the name, such as the US Navy and Starfleet's USS, the British HMS, Klingon IKS, etc. So far the closest I've found is the SDFs, and the Genesis Pits book adds a SDBC in front of the Shimakazes, but that looks more like a hull number than a name prefix to me.

I use UES (United Earth Ship) for my ships.

SDFm SDBC, etc are short form for the class of ship and it's number. For the actual name of the ship they use UES as Arnie said. So the SDF-3 Pioneer would be the SDF-3 UES Pioneer.

SDBC----You can figure the 'BC' stands for 'battlecruiser'....SD+'SuperDimensional', signifying it has FTL-Fold capabilities. The Tristar is SDC=SuperDimensional Cruiser, since it has a limited Fold capability.

I concur with the cool kids...UES for prefix. SDF, SDC, SDBC would be a ship class.

Being cool is like fight club..rule #1...never talk about being a cool kid.
to OP:
I agree with the rest. UES (United Earth Ship) though UESM (United Earth Systems Military) does sound cool.
