Because there's more ship, there's more of the essence of the ship.
In short, the ship is Cattier.
Named after my ex-sister-in-law
On a more serious note, I prefer the old USN names from the dawn of carrier-based air - Lexington, Saratoga, etc
The famous battle thing is ok I guess, but lacks gravitas.
I named my Freighter the USS Mama Cass. She had gravitas, alright; like a small moon
Unless it's Trafalgar!
The Spainish King: I have a 140 gun, 4 deck first rate. The biggest ship in the world!
Britain: We have a Nelson....
I knew about her from Azur Lane.
Although a bit of a cinnimon roll of a character in the anime, and a bit unsure of herself, she could hold her own in a fight when the situation called for it. I think she looked up to both Illustrious and Enterprise. Don't really remember if Hornet interacted with her much, but I could see her treating Unicorn like a little sister.
Enterprise, Hornet, Yorktown, Saratoga, Lexington...
I think the original Connies followed that naming system too in TOS.
Interesting note... USS Enterprise CVN-65 was the longest warship afloat, and the only OTHER class of Nuclear powered carrier in the USN. She wasn't Nimitz class, and was the only member of her class.
LK and TLG stand for Lion King and The Lion Guard.
"Simba, you have forgotten me. You have forgotten who you are … you are my son and the one true king." (Mufasa)
On the subject of dawn of carrier based air
HMS Argus was the first full length, flat deck carrier
HMS Hermes was the first ship designed as a carrier rather than converted from another ship.
HMS Perseus was the first carrier equipped with a steam catapult
HMS Ocean was the first carrier to land a Jet aircraft
HMS Triumph was the first Carrier with an angled flight deck
All those firsts and now we can't even put bloody planes and cats on two carriers.....
Klingon: I.K.S. Kraw'za (Crow/Raven)
Romulan: R.R.W. Narva (Roost)
Dominion: D.V. (whatever letters &/or numbers floats your boat)
Dang, didn't realize that with Dominion playable ships there's now already 3 designated carriers: Science (C-Store & already a fleet version), Dreadnought (lockbox & already a fleet version), & now Support (C-Store with fleet version optional).
I have yet to purchase the playable Caitian/Ferasan & have been waiting for a -30% Services Sale to do so, but ideally those are the 2 species I'd want piloting my Fed & KDF carriers if I bought them.
I only have 1 Jem'Hadar toon & wouldn't want to create another till if/when there's another long awaited recruitment event of some sort whether Dominion specific or an all encompassing recruitment for brand new toons &/or already created toons would be nice too. Do the playable Cardassians fall under Dominion too or just Fed & KDF?
I've got the 4 Romulan playables already created so not sure about what I'd do about the Rom carrier.
Dang, the more I look into these carriers & think about it I might be talking myself out of buying all of them lol not that they're not good, not great but not bad, but it just doesn't fit currently into my account.
U.S.S. Cohen
U.S.S. Dickson
U.S.S. Hamilton
To name a few...
I had thought so but was pie in the sky hoping I guess, thanks for confirming.
That is pretty cool!

Cat people.
Yeah, most are for a Star Destroyer, but not for the Federation...

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

Yeah.. i guess... but for Tellarites, it would be more of "U.S.S. Your ship is a toilet" or some kind of insult, andorians, well, for the little we know, they use famous ships, hence the Kumari, i have no information of catians..
Yup. I was a fan of the old movie Midway, and I did a couple reports in school on the battle. Hell... my Disco character, after I got a Disco Connie, is flying the USS Hornet and I treat her as one of Enterprise's sister ships.
If I remember correctly, the 7 carriers that were involved at Midway were:
Britain had 3 armoured fleet carriers in the pacific, immune to kamikaze attacks.
I always found the differences in American, Japanese and British carriers fascinating. American philosophy was to hit the enemy carriers before they could hit their own (worked well at Midway). The British view was that the carrier was going to get hit sooner or later so we built the hanger decks like an armoured magazine and flight deck like an armoured hull.
A forgotten aspect of the pacific theatre was the close co-operation between the British and Americans. British carrier based Seafires flew CAP for the Americans as the Seafire had a better ceiling and performance to the hellcats and corsairs.
