Random alphabetic number? That doesn't make sense :) --99.250.177.248 (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, 'meaningless checksum' in the Royal Navy service number doesn't make sense - either it's meaningless or it's a checksum :) --Lordandmaker (talk) 00:03, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are they back to using "service numbers" as of 2015?[edit]

This article needs to be updated, since it basically stops the narrative as of 2011 (saying that something "will happen" in 2015).
