Naming Your Starship

Or if you're a PBS fan, there's always the U.S.S. Horkheimer (Horkheimer Class Science Cruiser)...

A small, fast light cruiser which travels the Federation with a corps of news reporters: USS Christopher Glenn

 

Or at least a flair for padding your repair-time estimates.

 

I like that starship. It's exciting!

 

USS Logic! I was just trying to think of how to pay tribute to Spock in a name... There it is

 

Wouldn't it be simpler to honor Spock, with a ship name, by just calling it the U.S.S. Spock? The U.S.S. Logic is a bit general.

 

An addition: U.S.S. Michael Harrington

 

Or maybe a more general tribute to the Vulcans.

I'm intrigued that the L - O section now seems to have disappeared from my original post. That is highly illogical; I certainly didn't remove it. ?!?!?!

 

But if you truly wanna pay tribute to the Vulcans...Do NOT name your ship the U.S.S. Sybok.

 

Who's that?

 

Spock's brother, from "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier". He abandoned logic. And hijacks the Enterprise, in search of God.

 

That sounds silly. Surely that can't be canon?

(Is there a larger "wink" emoticon I can use? Let's try multiples: )

 

If only... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_V:_The_Final_Frontier

 

I am lamentably familiar with that film that was made by malicious clones of the original cast and funded by malicious clones of Paramount executives. But surely it can't be canon?

(I'm nearing my winking threshold. Any more and my skull might rip apart spontaneously... just ask yourself if you want such a grotesque display on your conscience... AAAGHHHH.....)

 

One smiley is enough per thought.

 

U.S.S. Marty McFly

 

USS Heisenberg-a renowned chemist

 

Or the fate of the Glorious.

 

From what I can tell, the Glorious had a quite successful 25-year career before she was sunk.

 

Which was not exactly glorious.
