(Actually, there is no convention.)

It seems fine, but I would say it differently.

The name of the ship I would write as {la reinbou,uarior. .uan.} otherwise
the stress is wrong. Or even better {la reinbou,uarior. pav.}.

There are about 10 words for "anniversary" in Nick's lujvo list, the one
I like is {detke'u}. Also, I don't like terminators, so I would say:

le cabdei cu panomoi detke'u le nu le fraso bilni cu tolfulgau
la reinbou,uarior pav
