No Anthony, the ship prefix SS does not mean sailing ship but screw steamer as in a vessel propelled by a screw propeller. If the motion was driven by a paddle wheel it would be called a PS or paddle steamer.
Screw steamer William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 5-5-20
Would SC stand for Screw Congress, or do they get SOS, and not the rescue call. Just wondering.
LOL. Good one, Fred
You can say screw schumer or screw schiff too
