+The '''phonetic alphabet''' is a system of spelling alphabet used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], derived from the [[Wikipedia:NATO phonetic alphabet|NATO phonetic alphabet]]. It is used, most commonly by the military, to spell parts of a message containing letters and numbers to avoid confusion that may arise from phonetically similar letters, especially if static or other interference is present.
-The '''Phonetic Alphabet''' is the primary naming system used for small vessels. The [[Wikipedia:NATO|NATO]] {{PAGENAME}} is used by the [[UNSC]].
