Bad Starship Names

HMS My Shuttlecraft Is Full Of Eels*

*something is wrong with the Universal Translator

Useless bit of trivia.

The sketch is based in part on a 19th Century book "English as She is Spoke", by Portuguese author Pedro Carlino.

He wanted to write a book of common English phrases for a Portuguese person to use when visiting England, however, he didn't speak English and didn't have access to an English phrase book - so, he used a Portuguese to French/French to English books for the translation.

Examples - The English phase 'The Walls Have Ears' became The Walls Have Hearsay', or, 'Is the road safe', became, 'Is sure the road'.
