My ship is named U.S.S. Galileo, named after the infamous Italian astronomer, physicist, mathematician and philosopher. He made new scientific discoveries and made improvements to the telescope amongst others. It is therefore a very fitting name to the star trek ethos, to explore strange new Worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before!
I named my ships after American National Parks ie Yosemite, Yellowstone, John Muir who advocated for Yosemite to become a national park and Sentinel Rock which is the second highest place you can hike to at Yosemite park
The USS Roanoke. There's a couple of layers of meaning, from the Roanoke colony being one of my favorite local legends, to a lost colony also being part of my character's backstory, to it being a nod to the Cabal's history as Roanoke colonists in City of Heroes and an homage to my Cabal heroine there.
fed carrier uss toy box reason it reminds me of engineers playing with toys in infected boss room others are default apart from my fighter lil fuzzy reason i'm a caitian in my stalker fighter and flys very fast past as a lil fuzzy blur...kdf iks cant miss me reason its a vo'que carrier you simply cant miss mirror qin raptor a k s beek a boo reason wait till i unclock behind you and figure out the next part :P
Most of my Fed Captains had their ships named after relatively recent ships. Escorts were named for destroyers, cruisers for cruisers/battleships, science vessels...well I only have one Fed Sci so her ships were named after my daughters.
I did deviate on a few occasions however.
One of my Fed Engineer tanks is currently commanding the U.S.S. Psychotic, a Fleet Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit. Named due to his love of parking directly in front of the whatever stf baddie and firing away point blank. (except Donatra. He just leads her around by the nose while everyone else dps's the TRIBBLE out of her.)
He also on occasion runs with the U.S.S. Neurotic....the predecessor to the Psychotic, an Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit. Though this ship has been relegated to "fun runs" in stfs and should really be renamed the "Rainbow Express"
Recently for some reason I went on a "Deliverance" kick with the names:
U.S.S. YouGotaPurdyMouth (Fleet Advanced Heavy Crusier Retrofit)
I.K.S. YouGotaPurdyMouth (Qin Heavy Raptor)
U.S.S. Banjo Music (Nebula Retrofit)
I.K.S. SqueelLikeaPig (Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit)
I.K.S. UrSheepDintKisMe (Vor'Cha Retrofit) ...not really Deliverance, but it fit the theme lol.
For those nights where pugs are going horrible (yes I pug at times and do enjoy them)
I often name my ships after something i have heard of.
List:
U.S.S. Durandal (Galaxy X) [Named after the Game called Marathon, An AI Named Durandal was a character inside the game]
U.S.S. Frontrunner ( Galaxy Refit) [Heard about the word on a Site called Newgrounds, decided to use it as a ship name]
U.S.S. Infinity ( Caitian Atrox Carrier ) [The U.N.S.C. Infinity From Halo 4 gave me this idea, but so did Marathon 3: Infinity, The game, and other things too]
U.S.S. Amethyst (Rademaker Class Multi-Mission Strategic Explorer) [I was thinking about Diablo III's Gem Colors, And, after some debate between Emerald and Amethyst, i went with Amethyst.]
U.S.S. Universe (Wells Temporal Vessel, i forgot their true name.) [Real life matters gave me this ship's name as an idea.]
_____
I.K.S. TaJhu ( K'Ting'a ) [Named after a random ship name in Star trek Legacy.]
I.K.S. Nilash'DaJ ( Vo'Quv Dreadnought ) [I actually played WoW, One of the Qiraji Raid bosses, Named Emporer Vek'Nilash, Gave me the "Nilash" Part of the name as an idea, But the "DaJ" Part was made up by me.]
I.K.S. Begh'PoQ (Hegh'Ta Heavy Bird of Prey) [Same as I.K.S. TaJhu]

Missing the good ol' days of PvP: Legacy of Romulus to Season 9 My List of Useful Links, Recently Updated November 25 2017!
My current ship is a Jem'Hadar attack ship and is named USS Lotus and that is basically its default name from when I got it.
My first ship in the game was the USS Derbyshire after where I am from. I also have other low level ships on other characters and they were named after the counties that surround Derbyshire (Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire etc).
I have a collection of ships named after UK and Maltese towns/cities (Nottingham, Bolton, Valletta, Ta' Xbiex, Vittoriosa, plus others)
I have had five ships named King George V and those are normally my best cruisers. I have other cruisers named after George III, IV and VI along with King James I.
I have a few oddly named ships such as the Pope Pius IX (Ferengi Marauder), Catfish Sandwich (Cardassian Galor) Dolph Lundgren (Nebula class) and the USS No Clipping (a yellowstone runabout)
***Sausages for All*** Federation - Mirel II, Tala Lyleh sh'Ezlem, Vro'kul, Jahrel, Giweatu, Jhrol th'Ezlem, Katariina Rebane, Eleftheria Palaiologou, Surel, Saimon, TheEfficientSaurian KDF -Mirel I, Anirez Norai, Talash Romulans - T'Lara, Makath 'The Needle' Ayailat, Mirel III
U.S.S Kuragon.
Kuragon is the Esperanto word for 'courage' I thought it was appropriate given the situations I put the ship + crew through and I thought the 'universal language' was relevant and sufficiently sci-fi enough to blend in.
My former ships were U.S.S Cazador which means hunter or destroyer.
Since I spent most of my time blowing up various other ships/species/non-descript others I again thought it was appropriate.
U.S.S Kalipoh. This is a hybrid between a Vulcan word and a Klingon word to reflect my character at the time; broken down into their original forms it means "challenge time"
U.S.S Leotosa - I honestly can't remember where this came from
My latest ship - the Ambassador-class - is called Taishi, which is the Japanese word for Ambassador/Diplomat. I'm quite into Japanese culture/language, so I tend to name most of my ships that way.
My ships are named after communities/locations in the San Fernando Valley with a few notable exceptions.
Valley Ships:
USS Granada Hills - Ambassador Class retrofit
USS Mission Hills - Vesta Class Recon
USS Coldwater Canyon - Steamrunner Class retrofit
USS Laurel Canyon - Excelsior Class retrofit
USS San Fernando - Galaxy Class retrofit
USS Encino- Defiant Class retrofit
USS Canoga Park - Nova Class retrofit
USS Burbank - Prometheus Class
USS Lake Balboa - Akira Class retrofit
USS North Hills - Odyssey Class cruiser
USS Tarzana - Luna Class retrofit
USS Northridge - Nebula Class retrofit
The exceptions:
USS Santa Monica - Intrepid Class retrofit
USS Pax Magellanic - Chimera Class
USS Crimson Sunrise - Breen Chel Gret Battleship
I fly the Odyssey Class Operations Cruiser U.S.S. West Virginia NCC-961863-C. Also known as the WeeVee or the DubVee.
West Virginia is my home state and I am proud to be 11th generation West Virginian. There are a lot of misconceptions about my state and because of that it allowed us to be taken advantage of so much. Mostly by the coal industry who has now gone as far as literally blowing up entire mountains to extract coal. The practice of mountaintop removal is poisoning and permanently impoverishing the people who live in the shadows of these massive sites.
The first U.S.S. West Virginia (ACR-5) was a pre-World War I United States Navy Pennsylvania-class armored cruiser. Later renamed the U.S.S. Huntington and went on to serve in WWI.
The U.S.S. West Virginia (BB-48) was a Colorado-class battleship commissioned December 1, 1923. The West Virginia was one of the most advanced naval battleships built at the time. It was present at the attack on Pearl Harbor and took heavy damage. Salvaged and refitted, the West Virginia went on to serve in World War II, participating in several major engagements, and was one of only 2 ships (the other being the USS Detroit) to survive the attack on Pearl Harbor and be present in Tokyo Bay when the Japanese surrendered.
Currently the U.S.S. West Virginia (SSBN-736) is a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine commissioned in 1990. The Ohio-class subs are the biggest ever built by the U.S. Navy and because of their stealthiness, the West Virginia is nicknamed the Silent Mountaineer.
I am proud of the state and ships who have carried its name.
U.S.S. WEST VIRGINIA
NCC-961863-C
Odyssey Class Operations Cruiser Montani Semper Liberi
Mountaineers Are Always Free
- KDF Ambassador Syon vocalizing her objection to the discussions of possible peace talks with the UFP due to recent Borg and Undine activities.Hegh'bat, Stardate 66588.8
U.S.S. Paramount - for she is the best ship I have flown so far.
U.S.S. Lightningbolt (Odyssey pack) - it flies well in sector space (longer slipstream stream drive) and perform nicely in battle.
U.S.S. Shinobi (Breen ship) - it looks like a shuriken with dark coloring like ninja.
U.S.S. Emerald (Ambassador Refit) - the default name tag given was U.S.S. Katrina. A girlish name. So, combined with the famous name of U.S.S. Enterprise, I picked U.S.S. Emerald.
U.S.S. Broken Hope. Reason being, hope in anything can be beaten, battered, bruised, broken, and shattered, but as long as you never let it go, it is never lost. Anyone that has been in an actual worse case scenario combat situations, will fully understand that.
My Ambassador Class is called the USS Garrett after the captain of the Enterprise C
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
U.S.S. Nidokuin- for being the sister defensive variant of the much more offensive Galaxy Class. For having more support ability and less weapon ports for those wondering why.
Steamrunner Class: U.S.S. Daybreak- For being one of the endgame escorts hence the afternoon has come and you no longer need coffee until the moon shows it's face.
-Reinhardt, captain of coffee named ships.
Think I may have replied to one of these things before... but I've probably acquired a couple more ships since then.
Anyway. When I realized I was going to go through several ships, I decided I needed a consistent naming scheme... and I used the names (or bits of the names) of various compositions by Gustav Holst, who's one of my favourite composers. He's best known for the "Planets" suite, but so far I've steered clear of that one.
So, to date it's
Light cruiser - USS Hammersmith
Cruiser - USS Beni Mora
Heavy Cruiser - USS Brook Green
Exploration Cruiser - USS Egdon Heath
Assault Cruiser - USS Savitri
Mirror Universe Assault Cruiser - USS Sita (my main ship for a good long while)
Mirror Universe Star Cruiser - USS Cloud Messenger
Mirror Universe Reconnaisance Science Vessel - USS Boar's Head
Mirror Universe Deep Space Science Vessel - ISS Hampshire
Recluse Carrier - USS King Estmere (currently my main ship)
Chel Grett Cruiser - USS Bleak Midwinter
Tuffli freighter - SS Rigs o'Marlow
Class F shuttle - USS Moorside
Aeon timeship - USS Walt Whitman
.. I haven't unpacked the Ambassador yet, I'll have to find one for that. (There are still a few left I can use!)
I started a science officer toon, too, using a similar scheme, this time the works of Sibelius. So far, I've just had the USS Oceanides and USS Lemminkainen on that one.
Comments
You'd be surprised the number of people who can't read still.
Also there's apparently some myth about the new Romulan Plasma "Slo-Cone Machine" launcher being so uber that "there is no more 10% Rule."
Facts are: Not using the 10% Rule you might have a small chance of pulling it off.
Using the 10% Rule you will ALWAYS win the Optional.
Heavy Escort Carrier
Look a my name and u will know why !!
I'VE SEEN YOU IN A STF!
And I thought that was an awesome ship name.
Anyways, my ship names are usually references to movies and/or historical events.
So here is the list:
Chel Grett: U.S.S. Red Dawn (After the old 80s film and its remake)
Patrol Escort: U.S.S. Vendetta (V for Vendetta, anyone?)
Odyssey Class: U.S.S. Vigilant (The exception to my rule.)
Mirror Assault Cruiser: U.S.S. Normandy (The Normandy from Mass Effect and Normandy Beach (Look up D-Day, if you don't know what I'm talking about))
Ki'tang Bird of Prey: Hunters Star (Named after a Predator comic made by Darkhorse.)
Elim Garak
I did deviate on a few occasions however.
One of my Fed Engineer tanks is currently commanding the U.S.S. Psychotic, a Fleet Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit. Named due to his love of parking directly in front of the whatever stf baddie and firing away point blank. (except Donatra. He just leads her around by the nose while everyone else dps's the TRIBBLE out of her.)
He also on occasion runs with the U.S.S. Neurotic....the predecessor to the Psychotic, an Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit. Though this ship has been relegated to "fun runs" in stfs and should really be renamed the "Rainbow Express"
Recently for some reason I went on a "Deliverance" kick with the names:
U.S.S. YouGotaPurdyMouth (Fleet Advanced Heavy Crusier Retrofit)
I.K.S. YouGotaPurdyMouth (Qin Heavy Raptor)
U.S.S. Banjo Music (Nebula Retrofit)
I.K.S. SqueelLikeaPig (Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit)
I.K.S. UrSheepDintKisMe (Vor'Cha Retrofit) ...not really Deliverance, but it fit the theme lol.
For those nights where pugs are going horrible (yes I pug at times and do enjoy them)
I.K.S. Muppet Hunter (B'Rel Retrofit)
I.K.S. Kermit Crusher (Negh'var)
List:
U.S.S. Durandal (Galaxy X) [Named after the Game called Marathon, An AI Named Durandal was a character inside the game]
U.S.S. Frontrunner ( Galaxy Refit) [Heard about the word on a Site called Newgrounds, decided to use it as a ship name]
U.S.S. Infinity ( Caitian Atrox Carrier ) [The U.N.S.C. Infinity From Halo 4 gave me this idea, but so did Marathon 3: Infinity, The game, and other things too]
