Indeed that is what I was referring to, you've named your ship after an art movement, you've also got renaissance, rococo, baroque and so on and I guessed that you would have named other ships in the class after these since they then all follow the same theme.
I see, well this is true. I choosed that name on purpose as i think that it fits perfectly to my ship. Here is a quote from wikipedia to avant-garde.
The
avant-garde (
/ˌævɒ̃ˈɡɑːrd/;
[2] French:
[avɑ̃ɡaʁd];
[3] from French, "advance guard" or "
vanguard", literally "fore-guard")
[4] are people or works that are experimental,
radical, or unorthodox with respect to
art,
culture, or
society.
[4][5][6] It is frequently characterized by aesthetic innovation and initial unacceptability.
[7]
The avant-garde pushes the boundaries of what is accepted as the
norm or the
status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of
modernism, as distinct from
postmodernism.[

artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement, and still continue to do so, tracing their history from
Dada through
the Situationists and to postmodern artists such as the
Language poets around 1981.

The avant-garde also promotes radical social reforms. It was this meaning that was evoked by the
Saint Simonian Olinde Rodrigues in his essay "L'artiste, le savant et l'industriel" ("The artist, the scientist and the industrialist", 1825), which contains the first recorded use of "avant-garde" in its now customary sense: there, Rodrigues calls on artists to "serve as [the people's] avant-garde", insisting that "the power of the arts is indeed the most immediate and fastest way" to social, political and economic reform.
