In some older literature It was called Night Hawk Black Pearl, most now or most in general have Nighthawk Black Pearl.

And I think some use the acronyms with in part the syllables, like a hybrid abbreviation.

either way we know what it is (atleast in this case anywho)


I still need some assistance on my other post...????
anybody??? maybe a mod?

or should I seek help from a higher source? *looks up at the sky*
