Badass ship names (2026)

A suggestion in the bad ship names thread led here. Suggest badassed names for starships. I would follow with rules, but I know you guys too well. Have fun!

USS Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
USS Enterprise (CV-6)

Captain Temple to the bridge.

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Captain Temple to the bridge.

Don't call me "Shirley." (And you don't want to know how long you had me scratching my head, especially given that the simulacrum in "The Arsenal of Freedom" was of Riker's old friend, Captain Paul Rice.)

 

[Toril Toran]

USS Samuel L. Jackson

That is a Badass Mo*******ker.


I am attempting to build a life-sized ship in Minecraft.

The name? U.S.S. Skorpion

(This spelling is not a typo)

 

[The Salt Umpire]

Badass Mo*******ker.

That's what it says on her shuttles.

 

[Toril Toran]

If I were given command of my own ship, I would name it the USS Dawnbreaker.

You know, it would be a cool visual to have markings swirling around the center of the saucer on the Lollipop, like a hypnotic eye or something. Make the saucer plates able to change color to confuse visual weapons or crew. Call it reactive camouflage or sumpin'. Lots of potential to use colour and light SFx.

Don't see why Starleet couldn't do this, do you?

USS Gomer Pyle. Every time there's a photon launch, instead of the whizzywoosh sound you'll hear "Shazaaaaaaaam!". Replace phaser array noise with "Golllllllly!"

Surprise. Surprise. Surprise.

My other choice would be: U.S.S. Invincible

 

[DarrenTR1970]

I don't know.

The last warship named Invincible blew up, broke in half and sank after taking only one shell hit at the Battle of Jutland in 1917.

I don't know.

Not quite. The last warship named Invincible was launched in 1977, a light aircraft carrier, flying Harriers and helicopters. She was the flagship of the British task force in the Falklands War.

 

[Toril Toran]

U.S.S. Invincible III ?

U.S.S. Invincible - C ?

 

[kkt]

Yeah, no. When the British or Americans reuse ship names, they do not add a letter or number after the name. The new ship gets a new number, and the number is how they are referred to in flag signals or radio. Battle honors are inherited and accumulate, though.

Just in case someone's interested, here's a list of all the British Invincibles before the 1982 Falklands War one:

1. 3rd rate. Prize taken in 1747. Wrecked in 1758.
2. 3rd rate of 1765. Wrecked in 1801.
3. 3rd rate of 1808. Broken up in 1861.
4. Ironclad of 1869. Later renamed Erebus, c. 1905.
5. Battle cruiser of 1907. Sunk at Jutland in 1916.

Battle honors:
St. Vincent 1780
Chesapeake 1781
St. Kitts 1782
Glorious First of June 1794
Trinidad 1797
Alexandria 1882
Heligoland 1914
Falklands 1914
Jutland 1916
