The letter P in the designation of aircraft during the World War II period (e.g. P-36 Hawk) represented Pursuit.
STOVL stands for Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing. It refers to a type of aircraft design that allows for short takeoff distances and the ability to land vertically, making it suitable for operations in confined spaces or on smaller aircraft carriers. This capability is particularly useful for military operations, enabling flexibility in deployment and recovery of aircraft. Examples of STOVL aircraft include the F-35B Lightning II.
It symbolizes the rising sun. During WWII, the Japanese painted the flage right in the middle of the flight deck of their aircraft carriers. It's location made the perfect target for American dive bombers.
The Poseidon of course, was a fictional ship in the movie The Poseidon Adventure. The film makers used the RMS Queen Mary as a "stand in" or backdrop for the film. The RMS Queen Mary is 1,194 feet LOA (length overall) and the RMS Titanic was 882 LOA. So one could argue that although fictional, the portrayal of the Poseidon by the Queen Mary made it longer than the real Titanic.

It means it's the numbering from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, by Halton Arp.
Carry On Kennels stand out from other pet carriers with features like durable construction, customizable designs, and airline-approved sizing.
Helicopters and some STOL aircraft can stand still in the air. If an actual winged aircraft does this it will 'stall' because air pressure is not moving over the wings.
