Well, my first ship was the USS Expedition, because I really liked that for a starship name,
and my current one ((just got promoted to Lieutenant Commander a few days ago...)) is the U.S.S Medina.
U.S.S. SERENITY - A Constitution Class Starship that I purchased. She is named in memory of my mother.
U.S.S. SERENDIPITY - A Constitution Class starship retrofitted to into an Exeter class starship. Being a hopeless romantic I named her with my wife in mind.
U.S.S. PRIME - A MIRROR Star Crusier (soverign) I obtained through the now discontinued Tholian lock box. This ship was actually named after a 1980's icon - Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. I also gave this ship an NX registry for reasons that pertain to my characters background story, etc... The name has been used on two other ships which I have since discharged as I was not fond of them. This is my flagship for the foreseeable future. If anyone could tell me how to get the I.S.S. Prefix I would be most appreciative!
U.S.S. GRIMM - I also receive TWO MIRROR Assault cruisers and unpacted only one of them. The name was assigned by cryptic and I have not used the ship at all really. I am not sure if I am going to keep it or not. The other boxed ship is up for grabs if anyone wants it! Just make me an offer!
I have tried various other ships given to me with each new tier but I have since discharged them all. They were:
U.S.S. POS - a crappy shuttle craft that I had to use for a mission. The name speaks for itself.
U.S.S. OSLO - A promethius class starship I never bothered to change its name and after two missions I discharged it. Blastphemy to some, I know, but I found it generally underwhelming and prefer the look to the original ST cruisers.
I also had a variant of the Galaxy class ship and a Tactical Escort... Both discharged. The original ship that comes with sign up never stood a chance as I bought the original TOS ship (Serenity) almost immediately. Again, I know, why throw away ships...
I may try a Defiant class starship in future but to be honest I would love to see cryptic make it so that you could eventually purchase additional slots for your existing starships. I make the PRIME more tactical oriented and give it more weapon slots... My character may have turned over a new leaf but it doesnt mean he has stopped sleeping with a phaser under his pillow!:cool:
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa (2006)
With my Reina Harit Beaumont character, my current ship is named the USS Starsteel, a mix and match of two Transformer's names - Starscream and Steelshot. Her next, and likely final ship, will be called the USS Shore, a heavy escort carrier with the Akira class appearance.
My Karen Linla Beaumont character's ship is called the USS Medsworn, onto the third version now. It's named as such because in the Beaumont series I've been writing since 1998, Karen is very interested in the Medical sciences.
I name most of my ships after famous fighting ships of the past, mostly WWII. There are a couple that are named for trek ships.
For my tac officer:
Galaxy-X USS Hornet
Odysee USS Yamato
Soveriegn USS Bismarck
Intrepid refit USS Guam
Prometheus MVAE USS North Carolina
Excelsior refit USS Hood
For my science officer:
Prometheus MVAE USS Arizona
Odysee USS Musashi
Mirror star cruiser USS Tirpitz
Luna USS Fuso
Excelsior refit USS Crazy Horse
I served in the US Navy for 11 years and was on three ships. Most of the ships I fly are named after those ships of sister ships.
USS Constellation (aircraft carrier)
USS Patriot (minesweeper)
USS Chief (minesweeper)
my Ody tac was USS Constellation - F
I currently fly a defiant USS Valiant
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
USS Xeno: Named for the philosopher and his horrible paradox. Poor turtles...
USS Bride of Quiet: Named for a Decemberists lyric. It is an escort and war is the bride of quiet and the bride of all unquiet things.
USS Winterborn: Named for a municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate.
ISS Shimmering: Has Reman covariant shields installed and shoots purple beams. Shimmering seemed an appropriate descriptor.
There is, finally, a Wells-class ship that I've not given a permanent name to. I'm thinking of calling it the Ann Veronica or the Undying Fire after some of Well's other works.
I've generally named my ships after bands on the Fed side, and one after a singer.
USS Opeth, Dickinson (as in Bruce as in Iron Maiden), Triptykon, Celtic Frost. Using the Celtic Frost, assault cruiser. Working towards an Odyssey pack. I plan to name the three the Tony Iommi, the Geezer Butler, and the Bill Ward. But I might just name the one I use the most the Black Sabbath and go with that.
My Hegh'ta Bird of Prey is called the IKS MaqMIgh Taj. I based it off of searches from this: http://klingonska.org/dict/
Taj is a dagger, MaqMigh sort of translates as "bad omen". So I think my ship name means "dagger of ill omen" or something. Kind of like a Klingon Sword of Damocles.
It sounded cool to me.

Missing the good ol' days of PvP: Legacy of Romulus to Season 9 My List of Useful Links, Recently Updated November 25 2017!
The first ship I wrote about was the USS Endeavour (name mentioned on the subspace chatter at the beginning of First Contact) which I always envisage as a Sovereign-Class.
Following the STO timeline jump, the new ship I write about is the USS Valkyrie, named for the plot to kill Hitler. I've come to appreciate the functionality and utility of the Nova-Class, and if given the choice between the two ships, I would opt for the Nova-Class :cool:
I have several ships. Here's the history behind them all...
Main (science)--Berat, Cardassian exchange officer, dual-commissioned as a gul and a Starfleet captain
U.S.S. Sherouk (RSV): With the blessing of Starfleet, named for his former (and since decommissioned) command in the Cardassian Defense Force. Also happens to be a place located somewhere in the Middle East, but that was not the intention when I came up with the name. This same name will carry over if/when I get a Fleet RSV. This is the ship that, for all its quirks, I am the most used to fighting with out of any ship, any toon.
C.D.S. Tekeny Ghemor (Galor): In-game it obviously has a Federation registry, but I always imagine it as Berat's current command in the Cardassian Guard, when he gets the opportunity to return the favor Starfleet did for him, and host a number of Starfleet officers (the BOFFs ) as exchange officers aboard a Cardassian vessel. Named for Legate Tekeny Ghemor, seen in "Second Skin" and "Ties of Blood and Water."
U.S.S. Zerayd (Peregrine): Named for a Cardassian bird of prey (in my fics).
U.S.S. Shalok (Danube): I made up the name of a river on Cardassia for that.
Secondary (Engineering) Rraeit Nirria, Caitian.
U.S.S. Le-Matya (Vesta): I wanted something "cat-themed," but I also felt that Starfleet even on the show has a dearth of alien ship names in spite of the diversity Starfleet claims to have and the appreciation of its member worlds. So I named the ship after a Vulcan felinoid.
U.S.S. Dawn (Mirror Assault Cruiser): Repainted and rechristened as a Starfleet vessel. The name of the Dawn was actually the game's suggestion--and it fit, because I was looking for something redemption-themed!
U.S.S. Serval (think this one is a Peregrine fighter): I decided to break with the bird-of-prey theme for the Peregrines, and choose a smaller felinoid for this one.
U.S.S. Tallahatchie (Danube): Named for a river in Alabama.
Tertiary (science)--Alexei (Alyosha) Ivanovich Strannik, Devidian found on Earth and raised (sort of) human. Appears in human form.
U.S.S. Chin'toka (Ushaan-class): Named for a significant Dominion War battle. I'm flying Alyosha in escorts though when I hit endgame I may also give him a Vesta. I'm undecided on whether I will roll the Chin'toka name over to the Vesta or not. He may well keep the name given that he graduated right into the Dominion War and he lost a lot of his graduating class in battle. (Yes, Alyosha cares about his crew and classmates, and no, they are NOT the MRE's. He has a device that supplies him with artificial neural energy he's able to live off of.)
It'll depend on whether I give up Alyosha's last escort after I start playing him on the Vesta.
His small craft (and the Vesta, if I don't carry over the name Chin'toka) will probably get a more "personal" name whenever he gets one...I can see a location in Russia, or a place considered sacred to the Orthodox Church, inspiring that ship's name.
Last character (tactical--KDF)--Jesror Krantak, Nausicaan
I.K.S. Fugh'li: I don't like the KDF. I have this character solely to farm dilithium. Hence I didn't even bother with "real" Klingon, and without further comment, let's just say the name should make my opinion perfectly clear.
Christian Gaming Community Fleets--Faith, Fun, and Fellowship! See the website and PM for more. :-) Proudly F2P.Signature image by gulberat. Avatar image by balsavor.deviantart.com.
U.S.S. POS - a crappy shuttle craft that I had to use for a mission. The name speaks for itself.
LOL! I didn't have the nerve to name it in the game that way but I was definitely thinking of that name for Alyosha's first ship--that awful Miranda--recently!

The names of my characters' ships (and the reasoning behind them) are as follows:
Takeshi Yamato (Main): USS Raging Tempest (reflects his fighting style)
Nanoha Takamachi: USS Wolfram (this character is based on the protagonist of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchise, and all names related to this character [BOffs and ships] come from the same franchise)
Shion Uzuki: USS Elsa (Xenosaga Naming Theme here)
Leonhardt "Leo" Raglan: USS Oathsworn (Record of Agarest War Generation 1 Naming Theme here)
Ginzuishou (Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit) - Tribute to Sailor Moon.
Radiant (Patrol Escort) - Continuing a line of shining/shimmering style names.
Fortitude (Odyssey Star Cruiser) - Sort of continues a line of names involving forts.
Hephaestus (Exploration Cruiser Retrofit) - For a Vulcan engineer. Get it? Vulcan engineer.
Opal Sea (Odyssey Star Cruiser) - Just sounded good for a Betazoid doctor.
Firebrand (Odyssey Star Cruiser) - Continuing a line of patriotic/revolutionary names, for a Bajoran.
Song of Horror (Kar'Fi Battle Carrier) - Continues a line of "Song of..." ships, including Song of Ire, Song of Malice, etc. For an Orion scientist.
Phantom Flare (Qin Heavy Raptor) - A stealthy blaster.
Tankertoy (Bortas Heavy Battle Cruiser) - A haven for a joined Trill engineer.
Kudos to you as well!
As for me in current use.
U.S.S. Eris (Long Range Science Vessel - Discovery-Class) Named for both the Greek Goddess of Chaos and the main Catian Heroine from Asobi ni iku Yo!/Cat Planet Cuties. My Engineer and his team of bouncy Bridge Bunnies love the Star Explorer Bridge on it. ^_^
I.K.S. Aral (Norgh-clas Bird of Prey) named for Aral Vorkosigan from a series of books. References and knowledge of the series gets you bonus points.
U.S.S. Gene Roddenberry, as a tribute to a great man, that understood humanity and its potential, the world needs more like him. ship is a fleet excelsior, original version with TOS bridge and TMP uniforms. registry is NX-200000-B
"Charlie Two Delta" a liberated Borg - inspired by the movie "The Island" with Scarlett Johansson.
Her Ship:
Galaxy X - U.S.S. Bad Girl's Dream - inspired by the song "Power of love" from Back to the Future. The Lyrics go: The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
The Registration number: NX-91101 - to honor and remeber the attacks on WTC 2001
My ships is my sovereign class vessel, which is named U.S.S Tibet, honestly because i've always been fascinated by that area of the world,
Also my Shuttle is named U.S.S Sabotuer because of the small and stealthier nature of a shuttle over a ship.
Made when the Federation and Section-31 pulled resources together to create the prototype starship.
The Nexus and her crew are a special task group put together to handle situations that the regular ships and crews cannot...and receive orders/missions from both the Federation and Section-31.
Nexus -
a means of connection; tie; link.
the core or center, as of a matter or situation
Mine is the USS Lord English, named after the big bad monster in the Homestuck series of web comics. All my ships are Homestuck-themed because at that time, I decided Homestuck needed more exposure.
My ship name is U.S.S. Argentina (NCC 91005 (Miranda Class), then A (Cheyenne Class), B (Modified Galaxy Class), and now C (Modified Sovereign Class).
The name comes from my home country. Im from Cordoba, just in the middle in Argentina.
I decided to put this name to make some justice; my country has been named only 3 times in the hole series and I think that the Argentine people needs to make presence here in STO.
Comments
and my current one ((just got promoted to Lieutenant Commander a few days ago...))
Get it? Defiant, defiance, hubris? Not yet? See, the ultimate defiance is hubris, wouldn't it?
My timeship destroyer is named I.S.S Sherman in memory of the DS9 crew who travelled back in time in 2373.
My other toons' ship are named randomly until I reach level 50 and pick a final ship, then I'll ponder on a name.
This has been a great thread!
I have the following ships:
U.S.S. SERENITY - A Constitution Class Starship that I purchased. She is named in memory of my mother.
U.S.S. SERENDIPITY - A Constitution Class starship retrofitted to into an Exeter class starship. Being a hopeless romantic I named her with my wife in mind.
U.S.S. PRIME - A MIRROR Star Crusier (soverign) I obtained through the now discontinued Tholian lock box. This ship was actually named after a 1980's icon - Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. I also gave this ship an NX registry for reasons that pertain to my characters background story, etc... The name has been used on two other ships which I have since discharged as I was not fond of them. This is my flagship for the foreseeable future. If anyone could tell me how to get the I.S.S. Prefix I would be most appreciative!
U.S.S. GRIMM - I also receive TWO MIRROR Assault cruisers and unpacted only one of them. The name was assigned by cryptic and I have not used the ship at all really. I am not sure if I am going to keep it or not. The other boxed ship is up for grabs if anyone wants it! Just make me an offer!
I have tried various other ships given to me with each new tier but I have since discharged them all. They were:
U.S.S. POS - a crappy shuttle craft that I had to use for a mission. The name speaks for itself.
U.S.S. OSLO - A promethius class starship I never bothered to change its name and after two missions I discharged it. Blastphemy to some, I know, but I found it generally underwhelming and prefer the look to the original ST cruisers.
I also had a variant of the Galaxy class ship and a Tactical Escort... Both discharged. The original ship that comes with sign up never stood a chance as I bought the original TOS ship (Serenity) almost immediately. Again, I know, why throw away ships...
I may try a Defiant class starship in future but to be honest I would love to see cryptic make it so that you could eventually purchase additional slots for your existing starships. I make the PRIME more tactical oriented and give it more weapon slots... My character may have turned over a new leaf but it doesnt mean he has stopped sleeping with a phaser under his pillow!:cool:
My Karen Linla Beaumont character's ship is called the USS Medsworn, onto the third version now. It's named as such because in the Beaumont series I've been writing since 1998, Karen is very interested in the Medical sciences.
Translated it is roughly "Door to the Stars", fitting, for a starship.

ISS Shimmering: Has Reman covariant shields installed and shoots purple beams. Shimmering seemed an appropriate descriptor.
There is, finally, a Wells-class ship that I've not given a permanent name to. I'm thinking of calling it the Ann Veronica or the Undying Fire after some of Well's other works.
Because Im a Pirate
USS Opeth, Dickinson (as in Bruce as in Iron Maiden), Triptykon, Celtic Frost. Using the Celtic Frost, assault cruiser. Working towards an Odyssey pack.
