  1. s***w-driven steamships generally carry the ship prefix "SS" before their names. Thus SS means Steam Ship


  2. Check out Wikepedia and search " SHIP PREFIXES",  it gives lists for civilian, naval and foreign vessels.

  3. USS Shiloh

    United States Ship Shiloh

    HMS Essex

    Her Majesty's Ship Essex (British ships)

    HMCS Ottawa

    Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Ottawa

    HMAS Endurance

    Her Majesty's Australian Ship Endurance

  4. S.S. stands for "s***w Steamer", so this would not be a sailing vessel or a paddle wheeler.
