Multiple Hull Info:
18VC - VANCOUVER

General Comments:
Vancouver launched 8 July 1989

NODC platform code 18VC was ambiguously associated with the earlier Vancouver (1967-1983) at multiple organizations, so ICES and NODC agreed to use a new code for HMCS VANCOUVER and to discontinue further use of code 18VC for any platform from Canada.
