In an RPG I used to work on, we named commercial freighters/privately owned ships after song titles: the FCS Midnight Special, FCS Afternoon Delight and so on.

So would there be ships named after Fleetwood Mac songs?

FCS Little Lies? for example

USS Starfleet
USS UESPA

Well, there is a USS Federation (it's the class ship for the 3-nacelled dreadnought) so that could work...

Edit: Federation Headquarters from DSC is also called USS Federation.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I love that Federation HQ was fully mobile

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I love that Federation HQ was fully mobile

It is a starship unto itself.

Just like the Breen dreadnought that turned up an episode ago.

So would there be ships named after Fleetwood Mac songs?

FCS Little Lies? for example

I do have to admit - USS Seven Wonders... would fit all too well...

 

[BK613]

FCS Heart of Gold.

There is an infinitely improbable chance of this ship being anything other than mostly harmless.

I do have to admit - USS Seven Wonders... would fit all too well...

Sounds perfect

 

[BK613]

It's actually the ride of one of my characters. He gets up to some "interesting stuff" in the story.

But it's actually named after the Neil Young song.

I thought it was a space brothel…

*Knows this as well, was pointing out that the name came from the song & not the ship from Hitchhikers Guide*

Was just a bit of humor on my part, riffing on a known literary use of that ship name.
And if you'd listed FCS Thunder Road as well, you might have also gotten something along the lines of 'If you dream it, you should build it but keep a wary lookout for the Angry Dad.'

Violet Jessop was an ocean liner stewardess and nurse in the early 20th century, renowned for her remarkable survival through three of the most famous ship disasters. In 1911, Jessop began working as a stewardess for the White Star liner RMS Olympic. On 20 September 1911, the Olympic left from Southampton and collided with the British warship HMS Hawke. On this particular incident, there were no fatalities but things would only get worse from here. Jessop boarded RMS Titanic as a stewardess on 10 April 1912, at age 24. Four days later, on April 14, it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank approximately two hours and forty minutes after the impact. Fortunately for Jessop, she was directed to lifeboat 16, and as the boat descended, one of Titanic's officers entrusted her with a baby to care for. Some 1,500 people sadly perished when the ship sank, but Jessop survived. In the morning of November 21, 1916, Jessop was serving aboard HMHS Britannic, the younger sibling of Olympic and Titanic. The vessel had been repurposed as a hospital ship when it sank in the Aegean Sea after striking a German naval mine. Britannic sank within 55 minutes, killing 30 of the 1,066 people on board. Luckily for Jessop, she survived again.

I wish I had thought of that name. That Bruce Springsteen song would be perfect for a ship in the Federation Cargo Service.

Star Trek needs a U.S.S. Texas. Conveniently, Star Trek: Lower Decks does not count for this purpose.
