    Once again the CFR come to the rescue, may be difficult to wade through but
    46 CFR:

    ? 67.123 Name and hailing port marking requirements.
    (a) For vessels other than those covered in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this
    section, the name of the vessel must be marked on some clearly visible
    exterior part of the port and starboard bow and the stern of the vessel. The
    hailing port of the vessel must be marked on some clearly visible exterior
    part of the stern of the vessel.

    (b) Vessels with square bow. For vessels having a square bow, the name of
    the vessel must be marked on some clearly visible exterior part of the bow
    in a manner to avoid obliteration. The name and hailing port must be marked
    on some clearly visible exterior part of the stern.

    (c) Recreational vessels. For vessels documented exclusively for recreation,
    the name and hailing port must be marked together on some clearly visible
    exterior part of the hull.

    (d) The markings required by paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section,
    which may be made by the use of any means and materials which result in
    durable markings, must be made in clearly legible letters of the Latin
    alphabet or Arabic or Roman numerals not less than four inches in height.

    I'm guessing your vessel has a recreational endorsement on the document,
    that gets you to paragraph c, letters for both must be no less than 4 inches
    high.

    Hope this helps,

    so both the name and hailing port letters are to be a minimum of 4"

    Seems to me, that is awfully large for the hailing port...

    Thanks
