{tlhIngan wo' Duj} "Imperial Klingon Vessel" (IKV) can be used when giving
the name of a Klingon ship.  For example:

    qIvo'rIt toQDuj 'oH tlhIngan wo' Duj pagh'e'         (SkyBox S7)
    The Imperial Klingon Vessel Pagh is a K'Vort-class Bird-of-Prey.

This abbreviation is sometimes rendered into Standard as "IKS" ("Imperial
Klingon Ship") elsewhere in fandom.  We have no idea how -- or even whether
-- this phrase is abbreviated and pronounced in Klingon.  Note that the
title of the SkyBox card was simply {qIvo'rIt pagh'e'} "K'Vort Class Pagh".
