In the United States Navy, the name of the ship is painted across the stern.
On merchant vessels the name of the vessel is painted on the stern together with the home port. It is also painted on both sides of the bow and it usually is also carved into a wood plate on both sides of the bridge. It is quite large and can easily be seen from a person walking on the pier when the vessel is tied up alongside.
