Any one who can help me with the type symbol for a gunnery training ship? I know US Navy used "AG" in connection to such vessels pennant number, but I'm not sure that this is the right symbol

The USN used AG to denote "miscellaneous auxillary", (the G comes from "auxillary general"). There's also AX for training ship, which might also be applicable. |

The US always used 'AG', as said. There is 'TS' for training ship, 'MTS' for moored training ship, 'US' for the Soviet system. Every ship I know of in the USN, at least, used 'AG' if it was a gunnery training ship and had her designation changed. |

Jane's used AX from training ships, be them specialised or dedicated cadet training ships. If its USN ship, use the proper USN navy title naturally (and so on...) |

When the U.S.S. Wyoming was reassignedd as a training ship her designation changed from BB-32 to AG-17. |

Thanks all of you. My conclusion may be that I should use "AX" for gunnery training ships but "AG" for US Navy.

...Which probably means I have to rename my files. But thanks for the clarity, I was wondering that myself.
