Many of the ships were given names with the prefix "Mac-", in a reference to their designation as MACs; the "Empire" prefix was used on ships built by the Ministry of War Transport to distinguish them from pre-war privately owned ships.
A further revised fourth edition was published in 2010 to include requisitioned ships e.g. Armed merchant cruisers, Merchant aircraft carriers as well as small craft e.g. landing craft, Admiralty built trawlers.
