Well I wouldn't call that a BAD starship name...
You're right. It's a TERRIBLE name.

The reason why it's a bad name is that Sisko, Jake, and Kassidy Yates are the only 3 people in the Federation who would know what it meant.Well I wouldn't call that a BAD starship name...
But I'd imagine that a baseball cap would be part of the ship's standard uniform, with a spiffier variety for dress occasions.

I never watched much of Enterprise, so completely forgot about this. Did they all wear ball caps, or only Archer?
Engineering staff in the premiere also wore them. The landing party in "Strange New World."
I don't watch SNW.
No, that's the name of the ENT episode from which that screencap of Archer is taken.
Oh. I honestly don't remember if I saw it. I have a dismal ability to remember episode names from any series other than TOS.
There was a point in late TNG at which they had two ships with nearly identical-sounding names. There was the SS Vico from "Hero Worship" (S5, E11) and the USS Biko from "A Fistful of Datas" (S6, E8), mentioned relatively close together, both members of the Oberth class. These two were after "The Battle" where we learned that the Stargazer had a weapons officer named "Vigo" (who probably got a ship named after him a hundred years later too). I remember Stewart's accent and delivery of these names muddied them together in my brain over the years, causing a bit of confusion over which was named what.
Don't know about Vico, but Biko was presumably named after the anti-apartheid campaigner who was murdered in the mid 70s.
So a good name.

I suppose they might now be known by another name - "utility cap" (service) or "athletic cap" (sports), perhaps, with the temporary decline in baseball popularity.
"Field cap." That works.
The NFL calls them “football caps”, even though they’re pretty much based on traditional baseball cap designs. 
"Ball cap" works for me.
USS Chris Chan or USS Chernobyl
Speaking of sports teams, it seems to me that the MIT baseball team ought to be wearing pleated caps, in narrow blue-and-white stripes. The sort of caps traditionally favored by locomotive crews. Given that they're the Engineers.
But to get back on-topic, it seems to me that the livery I designed for the USS LImeball could also work for the USS Pickle. Or with a large red spot, the USS Spanish Olive.

"Temporary"? TEMPORARY?
A strict projection, based upon attendance, suggests that Major League Baseball will have devolved and retracted to just two teams by 2261, and just one team thereafter. However, as the last survivor is the Yankees, the remaining broadcast network will find that entirely satisfactory for the Game of the Week.
