Abbreviations

[OneShot]

Discussion thread for Abbreviations (http://www.commanders-academy.com/wiki/index.php?title=Abbreviations). If you would like to add a comment, click the Post Reply button.

I've prepared a Wiki Template for the Abbreviations so its easier to read and generally looks neater. If you add something to a yet empty Letter use the following

{|width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
{{Abbreviation|AA|Anti-Aircraft}}
|}

In case if there is already something written, all you have to do is copy and paste this line

{{Abbreviation|ASROC|Anti Submarine ROCket}} and change the second and third entry.

Thanks

Thanks for the templates. Now its time to break out the Guide to the Soviet Navy for all those wacky Russian Abbreviations like PLARB.

I don't have time to catorgize all of these (I already did one page) but I've got them Wiki-ized for anyone who would care to.
