    It's interesting to note that for the Japanese the attack on Pearl Harbor was a failure since the whole operation was designed to cripple the Navy's air support and leave Japan as the dominant force in the skies over the Pacific. It just happened that every carrier managed to avoid being there by completely unrelated events. Enterprise had to anchor due to a storm, Saratoga was in drydock at San Francisco, and Lexington ferrying fighters to Midway.

    Ranger has been used several times in video games and books. The default name seen on Star Trek Online for the Temporal Escort is USS Ranger in promotional images.

    Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Dave...

    Maybe Yunaxa Dave was the politician credited with unifying Betazed under a single planetary government, or Zilen Dave was a renowned Bolian Stellar Cartographer, or 'dave' means 'unity' on Rigel IV. The possibilities for ship names are endless.

    Scary named ships that only come out at wartime.
