Ships' Codes
Ships' codes appear to be individually assigned for a particular voyage. A ship could be 'Y4' for one sailing, then another code for the next sailing. Makes tracing which ship is which quite difficult. Fortunately, the OC Troops voyage reports or a unit war diary quite often provide both the code and the ship's name, but for a ship transporting mainly materiel on an independent voyage (ie not convoyed and with few, if any, AIF personnel aboard), a positive ID can be difficult, as in the case of 'Y4'.
