That makes perfect sense. I never considered it from a money-making perspective.

But perhaps we COULD get away with a Survey ship named USS Selek? (Spock's assumed alias in TAS Yesteryear) a repair ship named USS Canarvin and a Hospital ship or Police Leader named USS Greene.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 01:49 am: Edit

It was on the show/movie (and not already used in SFU)?

Then no, we are not going to bet the survival of the company on a ship name?

By Marc Harkness (Kiyone4ever) on Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 02:53 am: Edit

The road paved with good intentions and bad ideas... Sorry.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 03:08 am: Edit

Nothing to be sorry for.
This is complex and esoteric.

Just ask yourself: would Paramount think we're were trying to sneak outside the limits of the license?

As for names of characters, if it's not already in SFU, it cannot be added.

Got a suggestion/request; USS Audie L Murphy, NCC 1670-1675 (NCA or, preferably, NCC).

By Will McCammon (Djdood) on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 - 10:35 pm: Edit

Murphy is certainly notable.

However, NCA and NCC ships are consistently named for cities.

Proper person names usually get applied to frigates or war destroyers. The 400-series wartime frigates and 1200-series war destroyers are still pretty open.

By Ryan Opel (Ryan) on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 - 10:44 pm: Edit

Maybe an NCT for him.

By Will McCammon (Djdood) on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 - 10:50 pm: Edit

I was thinking a commando DWG or something, given his service type and valor. Quite the soldier.

John S. Mosby, Commander 43rd Battalion, Virginia Cavalry during the Civil War, Better known as Mosby's Raiders. For 3 years conducted cavalry raids behind Union Lines striking Union communication and supply lines.

Proposed ship NCC 1276/7/8/9 (whichever is next available) ADW-F111 John S. Mosby

Genseric, King of the Vandals AD 428-477, leading contributor to collapse of Western Roman Empire including plundering of Rome in June 455.

Proposed ship NCC-1974, Division Control Ship, fits "anti-Roman barbarian king" naming theme for this class.

By John Sickels (Johnsickels) on Monday, October 24, 2016 - 02:55 pm: Edit

James Cook, British ship captain and explorer of the 18th century, first recorded European contact of Hawaii and parts of Australia and captain of famous exploration ship Endeavour.

Proposed Ship: NCC-586, Hermes class scout. There is a gap on the list between NCC-585 Hermes and NCC-587 De Gama that needs to be filled.

By John Sickels (Johnsickels) on Monday, October 24, 2016 - 03:03 pm: Edit

Gherman Titov, Soviet cosmonaut, first person to spend more than a day in space and second human to orbit the Earth.

Proposed Ship: NCC-588, Hermes class scout. There is gap on the list between NCC-587 De Gama and NCC-589 Dianna that needs to be filled.

Andras Hadik, Hungarian field marshal and commander of Hussar cavalry forces for the Hapsburg Monarchy in the 18th century, famous for briefly capturing Berlin in 1757 during the Seven Years War and ransoming the city.

Proposed ship: ADW-F111 Andras Hadik. Fits cavalry theme for this class.

By John Sickels (Johnsickels) on Thursday, November 03, 2016 - 11:36 pm: Edit

Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz, Prussian cavalry commander under Frederick the Great, famed for actions at the battle of Rossbach during the Seven Years War.

Proposed ship: ADW-F111 Seydlitz. Fits cavalry theme for the class.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, November 04, 2016 - 03:07 pm: Edit

How did we miss Seydlitz? I'm shocked and astounded that he has never had a ship.

By John Sickels (Johnsickels) on Friday, November 04, 2016 - 03:14 pm: Edit

Yeah, I double-checked it. No ship for Seydlitz. He would fit the cavalry theme for ADW, but maybe he is important enough for something larger? The name would fit for an NCL given the connection with the German WW1 battlecruiser.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, November 21, 2016 - 04:00 pm: Edit

Sun Li-jen, Chinese Nationalist general -- "The Rommel of the East"

Kamehameha I, King of Hawaii in late 18th and early 19th centuries, known as Kamehameha the Great in Hawaiian history, a successful warrior and reformer who helped preserve the independence of the islands.

Proposed ship: Federation war destroyer.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Saturday, November 26, 2016 - 10:20 am: Edit

So, does Castro have a ship named after him?


Garth L. Getgen

By John Sickels (Johnsickels) on Saturday, November 26, 2016 - 12:48 pm: Edit

No, there is no ship named after Castro. He would fit the war destroyer escort theme though.

Is there a theme or group of names for the Old Light Cruiser Scouts (LSC)

DWM:
891-Trump

May need to re-translate those tapes...

By Ryan Opel (Ryan) on Sunday, November 27, 2016 - 02:24 am: Edit

They only built one prototype and we don't know the name of the ship. It was stripped of its scout equipment prior to returing to mothballs.

HRC and Trump accidently swapped NCC numbers?
