So a lot of those are submarines, patrol frigates (so like corvette-ish smalled combat ships), LSTs (tank-carrying landing craft)/LCT (smaller landing ships), and destroyers (which in World War 2 were expendable ships - in the US they called them Tin Cans). The US lost over 50 subs, almost 100 destroyers, and over 150 landing craft in WW2.
Would love to know more about what happens here and how this came to be. https://maps.apple.com/?auid=15690485988243951332&ll=42.416865,130.639378&lsp=7618&q=Dropped Pin&t=m

How do other states do it? For example, someone from Dodge County (5) would have a plate like 5-JP489 The biggest counties don’t have their county number at the front of the plate any longer though because they need too many plates so they need all six characters. I live in Douglas County (1) and don’t have the county number. Neither does Lancaster or Sarpy. Not sure about others.
They fucked up Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy. I am from Lancaster County originally and why I am user 2
I think those saying ABC and the county number is because they don’t use their county number on the plate anymore, they just use 3 letters at the start.
The Nebraska county numbers are based on how many vehicles were registered in the county back in 1922 when the numbers were assigned, btw. From most to least.
We don’t have counties. Our plates are 3 letters then three numbers. What’s the need to know what county a vehicle is from?
it's actually an elite way of assigning license plates. if you're out in BFE you know to look out for (formerly 1 and 2 county) and if you're in the city you know to look out for double digit plates.
Boy, you bet your ass the farm truck and I had every dirt road in that county memorized by 8th grade.
I’ve seen other states (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi) that have the county name on the plate. I agree with The Banks though, not sure why that info has to be advertised. Nosy highway patrol?
Wyoming does a number on the left hand side of the plate to indicate county - with the ascending order originally meant to be based on County Size (ie, anyone with a 1 plate was from Cheyenne, 2 from Casper, etc.)…but the state decided to freeze the numbering system at some point because the population in many counties was so small that even the slightest flux in population could have a fairly dramatic swing in numbering thus causing thousands of residents across multiple counties to get new license plates after every census.
I do appreciate that Ohio gives out DUI plates so everyone can ridicule the assholes and also let police easily target them.
Wait, seriously? That’s pretty metal - more states should do that. And for people with a documented history of being shitty drivers overall.
I had no idea what they were until someone explained it to me, but they're bright yellow plates with red letters/numbers.
Yes. I think you can eventually get rid of the yellow plates but I’m not 100% sure how it works because I’m not a shitbag and I got too little sleep last night to read this entire article but I think they explain it here: https://www.ernstfirm.com/yellow-license-plate-for-ovi-dui-in-ohio/
No such meaning from me. Simply just picked it cause it was the first thing that crossed my mind and was surprised it accepted it since it was a single character
Yes and it was pretty hilarious to watch people try to figure it out. But I live that cardlock life and have been pumping my own gas for a few decades. That 97 octane Clear Premium
For how long? I had one 20 years ago when in college but I'd hate to be pulling into my sons elementary school with one on my car.
