Thanks, haven't heard this callsign yet, but I must add that the southern Athens sectors seem less well covered than before on liveatc lately.
Almost no traffic is heard from/to Souda, Malta and Cairo FIR.

Many thanks, 00-9001 was indeed on the shortlist of suspects, appeared at the right time in the region on Mode-S, but showed without a callsign. Thanks again for the correction/confirmation!

At 11.31 CNV.543 has a digit missing from the callsign(either 4 or 6) from in front of the 5.

The next westbound Shadow seems less likely for a while,now.

CNV5xx is used by the 5th fleet most of the time operating in/out of Bahrain, or at least coordinated by the Bahrain Navy det.
Same constuction for CNV6xx, 6th fleet Naples.
They also use CNV5xxx, but most of the time they have only 3 digits.
