 The US Navy and US Coast Guard use a mixture of tactical call signs and international
call signs, all beginning with the letter "N". For example, the  USS Sailfish  had the call sign NIKO for
 unclassified and navigation communications with other vessels, but used varying tactical call signs that vary
 with its mission. The USS Sailfish used the call sign NIKO, spoken " November, India, Kilo, Oscar ". 
When using voice communications the Sailfish was referred to as "CUPGRASS".
