Past discussion on burger vans etc lead to the understanding that if 
something was, for the majority of the time, found at a certain location 
then OSM should map it.

HMS Belfast in London is mapped as building=ship, for all intents is it 
permanent (I'd expect it to be seldom away in a dry dock to get hull 
repairs). I have changed the Darling Harbor ships to reflect the London 
tagging.

I expect the lifeboats do get more regular use, for things like training 
at least.
