Something needs to be named after Pluto. Just because.

But then after decades of faithful service, the starship will be downgraded to a dwarfship.

 

[Greg Cox]

So in-universe is ok?

The USS Sarek (or a Vulcan ship)
The USS Data
The USS Kirk
A Keldon-class Cardassian ship, The Damar

I pulled this trick in my latest book. The Orion ship is named after the leader of the Orion women in that Enterprise episode . . . .

USS Wilfred Brimley

that one would need to be a medical ship focusing on diabetus (purposely mis-spelled).

 

[Timewalker]

the USS Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Mustache

With an appropriately-shaped tunic insignia?

Somebody needs to write a fanfic about this.

USS Burgundy
(That ship would *always* stay classy.)

USS Gregory House
(Dedication plaque motto: IT'S NOT LUPUS.)

USS Burgundy

Its Captain would have to be kind of a "big deal."

USS Gregory House
(Dedication plaque motto: IT'S NOT LUPUS.)

USS Arnold Schwarzenegger.

(Dedication plaque motto: IT'S NOT A TUMOR !!!)

 

[Vandervecken]

So in-universe is ok?

The USS Sarek (or a Vulcan ship)

There is a USS Sarek.

Son of a gun.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

I find it disappointing that given TNG's emphasis on diplomacy, the only diplomats names that appear were either wartime figures or in-universe. None of them were internationalists/federalists. To that end:

USS George Marshall
USS Dag Hammarskjöld
USS Robert Shuman
USS Konrad Adenauer

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

USS Gregory House
(Dedication plaque motto: IT'S NOT LUPUS.)

USS Arnold Schwarzenegger.

(Dedication plaque motto: IT'S NOT A TUMOR !!!)

To engage the warp drive the captain would shout GET TO DA CHOPPA.
