Strangest Ship-Name / Ship-Class

[sex_of_nine]

I saw an interesting thread ("Strangest Ship Names") over at Bravo Fleet Forums, and just for shiznits n' snickers I thought we might come up with a few eyebrow-raising ship-classes / ship-names. The more imaginative, the better. If you include them in Motivational posters, it'll be that much funnier.

Ok, all your Trek Tech Nerds-turned-comedians/comediennes, go to it!

Primary Class, USS Quiet for the Register Please

...really though, what are you expecting?

 

[Chaos Descending]

I have always hated the "Steamrunner" class.

What the hell is a "Steamrunner"?

 

[6079SmithW]

Over in the now defunct "USS Cortez. Really?" thread someone brought up USS Whore of Babylon as possibly objectionable material. The Oberth class always seemed an interesting class to me as it looked nothing similar to any other ship classes throughout the TOS movies or TNG.

I have always hated the "Steamrunner" class.

What the hell is a "Steamrunner"?

Something that runs on steam perhaps?

 

[Jono]

I have always hated the "Steamrunner" class.

What the hell is a "Steamrunner"?

Not sure if this is true but I read somewhere it was meant to be Streamrunner but somewhere along the line someone dropped the r.

Stop the other one out: Constitution, Galaxy, Defiant, Intrepid, Sovereign, NX. I find NX less than inspiring as a class name for the main vessel.

 

[Kegg]

Gandhi, Ambassador-class.

This is the name and class of a ship that could kick ass with its photon torpedoes, phasers and the like.

 

[captcalhoun]

i hate the USS Der Sonnenaufgang from the Titan novels. and USS Bill of Rights from Best Destiny.

 

[You_Guyz]

USS Crazy Horse hands down.

 

[The Wormhole]

Well, since there's a Galaxy class and a Nebula class, that means there are ships named USS Galaxy and USS Nebula, which I find odd names for a ship. Nebula especially.

Actually, USS Ambassador is even weirder name for a ship.

 

[Colonel Midnight]

USS Crazy Horse hands down.

The USS Crazy Horse I can understand, but the USS Raging Queen... ???

That's another story in and of itself.

Cheers,

[USS Triumphant]

Over in the now defunct "USS Cortez. Really?" thread someone brought up USS Whore of Babylon

She's a Revelator-class warship from a parallel universe where ultra-orthodox Christianity dominated the Earth and ultimately the equivalent of the Federation. USS John the Revelator is the class vessel. Revelators are one of the ship classes used when Armageddon has to be brought to demonic aliens (species that refuse to embrace the Word). Warships are usually given the names of sinful entities - USS Serpent of Eden, USS Lucifer, USS Jezebel, etc.

Okay. I'm just making more stuff up off the top of my head.

 

[EmperorTiberius]

Norway

 

[Mr Pointy Ears]

The Wells class USS Relativity have to been a strange name for a starship.

 

[Nerys Myk]

USS Crazy Horse hands down.

The USS Crazy Horse I can understand, but the USS Raging Queen... ???

That's another story in and of itself.

I assume it was a reference to the SNL Skit from the 1970s.

 

[Orcus]

USS Phalus - Dildo class

 

[Bones2]

USS Curry

What's that, the catering ship?

 

[USS Triumphant]

USS Curry

What's that, the catering ship?

No. Sweet Transvestite-class.

 

[The Wormhole]

The Wells class USS Relativity have to been a strange name for a starship.

Relativity wasn't a starship, it was a timeship. And it seems an apropriate name for a timeship.

 

[HobartFloyt]

Norway

I don't think Mallory's Norway quite fits in a Trekverse discussion, but hey whatever man.
