Naming Ships

[Atrocities]

I keep my naming system simple.

Escorts are japanies names say for two (Yamamoto and Yamoto) those I use for Battleships.

Frigates I use Bird names and varations of mamimal names with birds. Black Hawk, Tiger Hawk, Star Falcon, etc.

Destroyers I use states.

Light Cruisers I use Rivers, moutains, countries.

Cruisers, Hostile names like: Vendetta, Vengance etc

Battle Cruisers I use Peoples names and sometimes Old WWII Carrier names.

Battleships, vary from Hostile names to Historical ship names like Republic, Bizmarc, etc.

Dreadnoughts I use President names, and important people like: John Wayne, George Bush, Picard, etc.

Carries have uniqe names like; Mobius, ID, Krell, etc.

Transports are named after cities.

Colony ships are always called RS Colony, IS Colony, and GS Colony.

Fighters are historical fighter names.

Base ships are named after planets and galaxies. Galaxy, Universe, Constillation, etc.

I have found that if I mass produce a ship type that I know is going to be nothing but cannon fodder, I name it as such. CF 001, CF 002, etc.
