Which Starship name would you choose?

[Captrek]

USS Essex. That would be fun.

 

[Cmdr_Blop]

Constellation, because it actually has something to do with space, which is appropriate for a space ship...

And because any Earth-centric name like a WWII ship or Civil War battle, etc, would be utterly meaningless to any alien UFP members, and thusly is ridiculous to use as a starship's name. Also, none of the other names have anything remotely to do with space.

Why would they have to be named for objects in space? Seagoing ships aren't all named for objects in the ocean. And Earth history becomes Federation history on the UFP is established as does Andorian, Vulcan and Tellerite history. Names from all histories will probably be used for names.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

As they're Exploring the Galaxy how about names like.
> USS Columbus NCC-1492
> USS Ericson NCC-1000
> USS Hudson NCC-1609
> USS Champlain NCC-1608
> USS Coronado NCC-1542

 

[Bones_McCoy21]

Excalibur, because I'm a fan of King Arthur. All my shuttles would be named after the knights of the Round Table.

Nice but I would also add a shuttlecraft Gwen or Guenevere.

USS Tasman NCC-1642
USS Zheng He NCC-1421
USS Cook NCC-1770
USS Magellan NCC-1521
USS Dampier NCC-1699

Pretty sure I heard of a USS Drake somewhere in one of the series.

Joshua Slocum, the first man to circumnavigate the world solo.

 

[ParLawGod]

Defiant for me.

 

[Captrek]

Defiant for me.

NX-74205 has character. I love the irony of getting "special dispensation" to rename a ship Defiant.

 

[Capt_Pickirk]

U.S.S. Crazy-horse

Pretty much sums me up...

 

[Anji]

Wow, I read a lot of really good suggestions.

My vote would go to the U.S.S. Challenger, in honor of our great and lost space shuttle.

Otherwise, it would be the Bradbury.
