Looking for nicknames for the three SLFs and the two new ships, the Krait and the Challenger.

-- Added Krython for Krait.

[[Diplomacy] Carnegie]

I think you'll find the correct nomenclature for the Cobra IV is 'Exclusive'.

what about Maigret?

I think you'll find the correct nomenclature for the Cobra IV is 'Exclusive'.
