favorite (non-FTL) design spaceships

The Earth Battleships from B5. They looked intimidating, had that cool rotating section and were NOT FTL. They needed gates to "jump" and couldn't generate their own. But,man, could they fight!
 
These sorts of lists are meaningless if they don't contain the SA-23E Starfury.

My other favorite is the Eagle Transporter, but I just wish they'd kept it to vacuum duty, and had to design and build a new craft for planetary use in atmosphere, using the spare parts and fabrication facilities on Moonbase Alpha.

The design of Serenity is freaking awesome, but I'm also really partial to the Omega-class destroyer from Babylon 5 (i.e. the EAS Charon from A Call to Arms).

The larger Earthforce ships could their own jumgates I believe the smallest ship that could open it's own jump point was the Hyperion and the larger ships like the Omega (the one with the rotating section) had it's own jump engine.

Prowlers (Farscape)
I can't remember did the Prowlers have FTL? I thought they had a Hetch drive? I think it's the Farscape equivalent of warp drive.
