In this country ships are known as "U.S.S. _____" (United States Ship)

In England, it's "H.M.S. ____" (His/Her Majesty's Ship)

Militant black leader Khallid Abdul Muhammad was back in the news again after the "Million Youth March" ended in a skirmish with New York City Police.

"Where are you going ?" she asked. "To get my teeth." he replied.
