Boat Names Are Shit

[Saturos]

Experimentation. I wanted to give the cute little penguin a test run and see what people thought about it. I am going to go back to the cow in time.

No doubt the penguin is cute to most people, but changing avatars is like swapping faces a.l.a FaceOff style imo. (The Nicolas Cage/Travolta movie).

Everyone has ruined this thread except me.

Sulkdudes is absolutely right. Boat names are always airy fairy nonsense.

Dark Thresher
Raving Abyss Rider
Vortex of Doom

Millenium Falcon

I like the name, "Leviathan" for a ship or submarine.

The name "Interceptor" is also cool, as so is "Invincible".

Oh yeah, The coolest name to ever be used amongst the U.S. NAVY fleet is the "U.S.S. Enterprise".
In fact, it is said that's where the Star Trek creators got the name for the series.

I would name mine bread, so at least it would be sure to float.

The coolest U.S. NAVY name I've heard for a ship so far is the "U.S.S Nimitz".

It's a god damn time traveling aircraft carrier what could be more awesome than that?

I retract that statement though. The U.S.S. Enterprise is the coolest name to ever grace the U.S. naval fleet. (see previous page)

Actually, the name was used more than once for both carrier and cruiser class ships. You can Google "US NAVY ships history" if your interested.

I used to have the link bookmarked but not anymore.

However I don't retract my statement Nimitz > Enterprise. **** Star Treck.

What's this "time traveling" business about the Nimitz anyways? Inform me please.

The Culture ships pretty much all have amazing names.

Some highlights:

• Ultimate Ship The Second
  Of Course I Still Love You
  What Are The Civilian Applications?
  It's Character Forming
  Ethics Gradient
  Only Slightly Bent
  It'll Be Over By Christmas
  Hand Me The Gun And Ask Me Again
  I Blame The Parents
  Lapsed Pacifist
  Subtle Shift In Emphasis

And of course, the 'Gravitas' running gag (These ships obtained their names as a result of another civilisation criticizing Culture ship naming policy, claiming that such powerful ships ought to have names with a little more gravitas.):

• Stood Far Back When The Gravitas Was Handed Out
  Gravitas, What Gravitas?
  Gravitas... Gravitas... No, Don't Help Me, I'll Get It In A Moment...
  Gravitas Free Zone
  Low Gravitas Warning Signal
  Absolutely No You-Know-What
  Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall
