What will be the name of your ship?
- Thread starter Crayfish
- Start date
This is not the ship you are looking for . . .
I'm hoping "Optical Illusion" might confuse mean-looking aggressors long enough for me to slip quietly away

Probably the best name for a ship out of 2000 AD other than Mean Machine
Indeed
Although Nemesis and Blitzspear wouldmake good names too.

Ship Name
I expect I will name it (or is that them?) after ships my grandfathers sailed in. The first will be HMSS Drake (named after Francis Drake, of course - they were based at Devenport) which was torpedoed on Oct 2nd 1917. His "what I did in the war" book does not say whether that Grandfather was aboard at the time. If I need other names, then we have Newlyn, Exeter, Raleigh and Erin that I can use. He was on HMS Erin guarding the German Fleet at Scapa Flow until it was scuttled.

andy kappa.
does that mean it'll burst out into gaelic folk songs every time it gets shot?
Nope. More of a way to distract you from your failing shields with some entertainment.

I want my ship to have either a classic battleship name, such as Dreadnaught, Defiant, Yorktown, Hornet, Lexington, Illustrious, or perhaps an explorer type ship name such as Venturer, Shackleton, Columbus, etc.
It has to be something that kind of hints to people that this ship isn't one to be messed with and has an experienced pilot at the helm.
Dark Star could also be a cool name for my ship.

Just stand still and I will try to fix that for you
EDIT:
Beaten to the punch. Oh well.
As for my ship name, she will be "The Mary Celeste" and a second ship I'll call "Diversion"

After some thought.. 'Excalibur' has a nice ring to it, so my ship shall be the 'Excalibur'. Or maybe the 'Broadsword' (Wing Commander FTW!)

Guilty as charged I'm afraid.The Nelly is a name you give somebody you care about, I would think its captain is a person caring for the ship and other peoples in general
