Noob trying to name ships

So I'm brand spanking new to the Foundry, and there's one nagging thing that I can't seem to figure out. Is it possible to customize the name/designation decals on a ship costume? I am seeing nothing in the various options that would seem to allow that, and so the major ship in the mission I'm working on is stuck with a random string of numbers for both fields slapped on its hull. Seems extremely immersion-breaking to me, so I was hoping those more experienced might be able to point me in the right direction, or at least confirm my suspicion that it isn't possible. Thank you for your help.

    To a point. The name of the NPC will appear as the name of the ship on the hull, but things like the registry number can't be customized. That said, in general, the decals on NPC ships are so small and so far away that it's incredibly difficult for a player to read without going to extraordinary lengths to do so. It could say "U.S.S. Awesomesauce" and no one would notice.

    It's a bit like how the set designers on the show would put in funny messages on the various labels on the set, just because no one could read them.
