Your favourite shipname

[lottodax]

I always liked to look through spaceship lists of the different classes and imagined the ships with the names on it in space. :)
and I always liked to think of ships, name them, choose the class, invented a crew in my mind and so on :)

so what is your favourite ship class/name combination?

mine is USS Lexington Excelsior-Class NCC-14427

[Threshold]

Relativity.

Awesome Name.

[NCC1017spock]

I like Enterprise


-woot woot ya I said it first :p

[lordwow]

The Reliant!

[Nashy]

hmm i gotta go with... USS Nash. :cool:

The USS Nash (NCC-2010-5) was a Federation starship of the Sydney-class of the 24th century. It made several journeys to Deep Space 9 in the 2370s.

The Nash transported Dr. Julian Bashir and Trill initiate Arjin from Starbase 41 to DS9 in 2370. (DS9: "Playing God")

In 2372, Keiko and Molly O'Brien were transported from Bajor to DS9 by the Nash. (DS9: "Accession")

Two agents of the Department of Temporal Investigations, Dulmur and Lucsly, arrived on DS9 via the Nash in 2373. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")

In 2375, the Nash transported Jack, Lauren, Sarina and Patrick from Deep Space 9.

YAY for memory alpha

[SamLavell]

I like the Prometheus-Class and the Steamrunner-Class
Name of the ship is Apollo

[vnixned2]

My favorite name is, IKS Zeven Provinciën.
and evry1 saying that is an alien name........ GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The ship of choice would be a combo between a Defiant class, a Norexan/Valdore warbird and a K'Vort class, with a nice Fluytschip/Retourschip rear castle.

And at the front hull I would paint the Dutch naval Jack, the VOC and the maquis flag.

Also dont say I am discriminating, because I use the VOC. Those that think so should brush up there History lessons!!!!!!

The Endeavour:

(From Memory Alpha)

The USS Endeavour (NCC-71805) was a Federation starship that was in service during the late 24th century.

In 2368 the Endeavour was assigned to the Starfleet blockade force at the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. It was the last ship to clear the drydock prior to the departure of the fleet from Starbase 234. During the initial deployment of the tachyon detection grid, the Endeavour was linked with the USS Ajax, USS Hood, USS Tian An Men and USS Enterprise-D. Later that year, the ship was assigned to a patrol circuit in the Cleon system.

In 2373, the Endeavour faced the Borg at the Battle of Sector 001.

[Thorgar]

the Blood Letter, klingon Painbringer class

[FEA_Lt_Timothy_Corey_Dalton]

USS Bonaventure- no class listed in Memory Alpha, but in most-non- canon TAS it was a pre constitution class- a amalgam between Olympic- and Constitution- class. Quote from Scotty "One of the first ships with warp drive..."

See TAS Episode "The Time Trap" - a very interessting episode- there the Enterprise docks on a Klingon D7- Cruiser for their escape.

[rihannsu]

The Endeavour for me as well. Amusingly enough based on that memory alpha description I came up with a "dedication plaque" motto for the Endeavour.

"Where the Enterprise led, the Endeavour followed. Through the hollows of space and hell."

I also enjoy the Romulan shipname "Ra'kholh" which is Rihannsu for "Avenger."

[Necros]

The USS Defiant (NX-74205). It was an awsome "little" ship. :cool: :D

And because I'm Hungarian I've got to say the USS Budapest (NCC-64923), Norway-class starship too. :cool:

[cpt-picard1993]

i like uss enterprise ncc 1701-e

[koric]

The USS Constellation

[UfcFan78]

Other than the original Enterprise and then A thru E(duh) lol. I always felt that the Excelsior was awesome ONLY after Sulu took command. The scene in ST 6 where the Enterprise and the Excelsior are flying side by side then it pulls away, it makes my list.

Which will help me make my sig..........

[Noonien]

USS Excelsior, hands down. EXCELSIOR! :D

[bitgolem]

BortaS!! Vengeance served cold in the depths of space where noone can hear you scream.

[JSM3050]

IKV Gorkon (it's got its own book series but never appeared in the TV shows or movies as far as I know).

[Marcellus]

Although it wasn't a genuine Starfleet ship, USS Dauntless has a nice ring to it.

And because I'm Hungarian I've got to say the USS Budapest (NCC-64923), Norway-class starship too. :cool:
Heh, that was the second one that came to my mind as well when I looked at the thread title...

[bitgolem]

IKV Gorkon (it's got its own book series but never appeared in the TV shows or movies as far as I know).

Books! ptooei! The books are all heresy! I've tried to read like 5 different ones and they were a dribble. Some ****** writes a soap opera and just plugs in names and buzzwords. Filth!!!

[JSM3050]

USS Excalibur (NCC-26517) Ambassador-class (featured in Star Trek: New Frontier novels) :)Best series but not the most original name for a ship. :D

[Vatenkeist]

"Kraxon" Galor Class Cruiser

and of course the Keldon Class Ships

[Ferd_Burfel]

As for names, I like Archimedes and Tian An Men. Though neither were very prominent on a show or movie.

[Daggaroth]

U.S.S Crazy Horse

U.S.S Thunderchild

U.S.S Intrepid

U.S.S. Prometheus

U.S.S Sano Polo ( renamed the Defiant)

U.S.S. Relativity

U.S.S. Redemption

these are a few of my favorites =)

U.S.S. Relativity

I always wondered why they had "Thunderchild" as one word, the book listed it as "Thunder Child", guess we'll never know.

[0wl]

BortaS!!

You sir are correct, one 'o the best names ever! :)

[Dr.Schrodinger]

The U.S.S. Crazy Horse! No, I'm kidding, that sounds like crap. Probably the U.S.S. Stargazer.

[0wl]

Crap you say?!

One 'o the greatest Native "American" chiefs, i think it does him the honor he deserves! :mad:

[Dr.Schrodinger]

Crap you say?!

One 'o the greatest Native "American" chiefs, i think it does him the honor he deserves! :mad:

I suppose you are right, thanks for making me feel bad. It just sounds strange next to other names.

[0wl]

I know that you intended it that way hehe! ;)

[Ferd_Burfel]

I hope the STO community throws some non-English NPC ship names in there. I'm American, but I wanna see a more diverse list on names and ships than just English. Give me that sense of universal feel and appeal!!

[Slivan]

Personally i like The U.S.S Twilight

[itiffanyturner]

The Majestic

[hypnotoad]

Some of Hornblower's ships would be cool( http://www.scaryfangirl.com/ships.htm ref) -

Justinian
Indefatigable
Retribution
Hotspur
Atropos
Witch of Endor
Nonsuch


Some German ships names I liked when playing "Bismark" wargame -

Graf Spee
Tirpitz
Scharnhorst
Gneisnau (I always pronounce the name as "nice now". Strange sounding name for a battleship. Kind of like the martians in "Mars Attacks" using the translation device - "Don't run we are your friends!" while attacking)


Some U.S. ship names that sound pretty good to me:

Ranger
Essex
Yorktown
Saratoga
Lexington

[Fischfaust]

Lollypop. She was a good ship.

[TheMasterpiece]

Damn I thought I was original with Endeavour. Looks like everyone loves it :)

[Zorgon]

The Reliant!
Same here! Miranda Class FTW!!!!

[dalemcalpine]

Vader Fist.......er...wrong Galaxy



IRW Vigilance - D'deridex Class Warbird

I think it was in one of the books...cant remeber...but none the less the future name of my Ship when STO goes live.

[eycel]

what else, The USS Enterprise

[RandomRedshirt]

USS Nehalem. I hope I can name my ship that.

For those who don't know the Nehalem, there are some picture links to my blueprints in this forum:

[Susarian]

I have always liked Lor'Vela.

[AnthonySabre]

The Defiant. I like both the Constitution class and the Defiant class.

[Ignak]

I'd have to say Ki'tang (The klingon ship that was immune to Breen energy dampening weapons on the first encounter) and Defiant. I like both those names because they are strong and short.

[GRUNT1701]

U.S.S. Thunderchild NCC-63549 (Akira class)

[Captain-Dyke]

The U.S.S. Cue Shoe:eek::D

[Captain-Dyke]

Than again...Stargazer is a fantastic name for a ship. Probably my fav.

[spartan547]

Mine would have to be Enterprise.
"These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise."
"There's another ship coming in. It's the Enterprise."
That pretty much sums up why, the Enterprise is iconic and represents hope for a better future where humanity explores the stars, and even in the worst of times if the Enterprise is there it means that there is still hope and that things will turn out all right.

[DocSean]

Whenever I've had a name-able ship in a game it has always been the Memory. Although Serenity is a good second. :D

Here are some Japanese names for whoever it was that requested something other than English: :)

USS Kami (God)
USS Akai (Red)
USS Ningen (Mankind)
USS Kara (From)
USS Hoshi (Star)

[captaeh]

U.S.S. Excalibur (since Enterprise is already used and is of course my first choice)

(from Memory-Alpha)

The USS Excalibur (NCC-26517) was an Ambassador-class starship in service in the 2360s.

The Excalibur survived an attack by the Borg during a night shift sometime prior to 2368. Several members of the crew, including Marika Wilkarah, were assimilated in the encounter. (VOY: "Survival Instinct")

In 2368, the Excalibur was undergoing a major refit and repair at Starbase 234. It was commandeered by Captain Jean-Luc Picard to serve in a Starfleet blockade of the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. During that mission, it was commanded by Commander William Riker, with Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge as first officer since the Excalibur's crew had been reassigned due to the extent of the refit. (TNG: "Redemption II")

[Ulathar]

I like time travel episodes or (the theories of) time travel in general so I'd say Relativity (there is no better name for those kind of ships).

[Bretticus]

I cant belive no one suggested this one.

HMS Bounty was the name given to the Klingon Bird-of-Prey commandeered by James T. Kirk in 2285. It was given the moniker by Leonard McCoy in a fit of historical irony, as the original Bounty, an Earth seagoing starship, had been taken over by mutineers - a situation similar to that the former USS Enterprise crewmembers found themselves in. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

But I do like USS Excelsior (NCC-2000)
Helmsman Lojur "Sir, she will fly apart"
Captain Sulu "Well fly her apart then"

[Meynolt]

Isn't the USS Stargazer the ship that Picard started his career on prior to commanding the USS Enterprise?

[relitner]

I played a ST sim for quite a long time and grew rather fond of the different ships where I contributed...

USS Sovereign - Galaxy Class
USS Tangent - Akira Class
USS Oberon - Akira Class

Anybody else from Liberty Fleet hanging around?

[GlassEye]

Look left at the avatar. "The Defiant".

[Pounce]

Although I hated the look of the Nebula-class starship.

I'll go with the USS Farragut.

[Will_Lucky]

The USS Crazy Horse, remember laughing when I heard that.

[Daveed75]

The Prometheus with the Scimitar as a close second.

But i cant leave without mentioning the USS Bozeman captained by none other than Dr. Frasier Crane

[Fluxion]

U.S.S. Independence, NCC-1776

Sweet. ;)

[madmandale]

Mine is the one from "Where No One has Gone Before" (TNG)

U.S. S. Fearless, an Excelsior class ship. I liked it so much, I started a PBEM RPG based on the continuing voyages of it... :)

[0wl]

The ship name i would and likely will choose: I.K.S. ram toQ and do go ahead look it up! ;)

[Bsweet]

If there was a ship named U.S.S Sweet Galaxy Class,Prometheus Class I'd dig it:p

[Stu1701]

USS Galaxy, NCC-70637, the first ship of her class. I don't know why but I've always been fond of the starship Galaxy. I've written several fan fiction stories about the adventures of that ship. I can't wait to take command of it in Star Trek Online.

[dabbtech]

USS Crazy Horse

[axcel.go]

I guess we're on the same page, I make up stories of the ship and play episodes in my head using the video games for visuals.

[mactorrin]

excalibur............ nuff said

[Xextreem]

The ENTERPRISE sounds good no numbers no class just the game ENTERPRISE its nice

[Athos]

Enterprise, Defiant, Voyager, Valiant, Thunderchild...all great stuff


I like some of my own names though...
Aurora
Aleutian


etc
etc...:)

[miklamar]

In our fleet, we were asked to choose shipnames based upon composers. I think one should be the U.S.S. Goldsmith, after the late composer Jerry Goldsmith, who was a great friend of the StarTrek franchise.
