[Platforms] LATVIA - KA-01/KRISTAPS

[Lowry, Roy K]

Hi Lee,

If you look at the picture on http://www.poga.lv/photos/aigarsp/photo:676306/ you will see that this ship carries KA-01 on the bow and Kristaps on the stern.  This is fairly common naval convention and is usually interpreted as Kristaps being the name and KA-01 being the pennant number.

Cheers, Roy.

Name needs confirmation. Is it KA-01 or Kristaps?

This suggestion will need confirmation by NOAA.
