Why USS Cerritos of all names?

[Nerys Myk]

I think if we're going to take everything this show is going to throw at us as literally as the “least important ship in Starfleet” line, it's going to be a tough sell for some.

So... Star Trek fans , then?

 

[DEWLine]

Exactly. Nothing is unimportant in Starfleet. Sooner or later, everything gets a hero turn.

 

[Tuskin38]

the ship is also 'California' class, so I assume any other ships will probably named after things connected to California.

USS Wildfire
USS Librul Hollywood Elite
USS 8.0
USS It's October, Why the Hell is it Still 100F?
USS Vasquez Rocks (first Starfleet Gorn captain, with Vulcan first officer... and Raffi smokin weed).

My favorite ship.

It's just been commissioned.
It's a good ship.

I admit I'm a bit uneasy at the notion that ANY Starfleet vessel could be considered unimportant.

Not every ship has the same mission profile. Someone on a local system run might look at a long range explorer and feel envious.

Important is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[Admiral Archer]

I want to see a USS Encinitas. That's the first place I ever lived in California, and it would be a cool name for a sister ship to the USS Cerritos.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'm from Northern California. I demand a USS Aptos

 

[Tuskin38]

USS Los Gatos, completely crewed by Caitians

 

[mattman8907]

i love that Boimler is from Modesto. That's literally 45 minutes away from where I live in Stockton.

 

[Cyrus]

^someone should keep track of all the California cities mentioned in this show.

 

[Corran Horn]

The Captain has what appears to be a tattered CA state flag in her ready room.

True, but that doesn't mean the "local" isn't important or has no value.

And the U.S.S. Quito is undoubtedly of the Equador class.

 

[Crewman6]

And the U.S.S. Quito is undoubtedly of the Equador class.

And the USS Quinto is from the Meta class.

 

[WarpFactorZ]

And the U.S.S. Quito is undoubtedly of the Equador class.

I figured it was the USS Keto, another California class vessel (flanked by the USS Paleo).

 

[Imaus]

USS Modoc, NCC-171874.

It speaks for itself and is considered a pivotal element in the Orion-Federation-Ferengi illicit substances trade.

It was Quito in the closed-captioning.
