[MinchinWeb]

If the town name is excessively long, it might cause problems with ship naming (at least aesthetic problems).

Town names, in ship names, should be limited to 19 characters.

String
slice(start,[end])

returns a section of the string as new string. Copies from start to the end (not included). If start is negative the index is calculated as length + start, if end is negative the index is calculated as length + start. If end is omitted end is equal to the string length.
