Must be a very old standard... I have never seen it used in college, in old textbooks, or on ships, even by my oldest fellow mates and captains. Our standard notation was DDMMYYYY.

This is the "old(?)" European standard nautical method. Since Silicon Sea is reaching near the end of the voyage in a few more legs I am reluctant to change it at this point.
