[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [qb] I notice that too, and it's also really annoying. Like in Enterprise, when another Earth Starfleet ship was named, it was always "Intrepid," or "Yorktown," or "Republic." It was like the writers didn't have a creative bone in their bodies, which of course they didn't. [/qb][/QUOTE]Back in the sixies... think about it? Commie bashing/Hollywood Press-gang Black Listing was 10 years ago then. It was radical enough to have a russian Weapons Officer (more like Duty Weps, since Ens Chechov probably only held Division Officer duties when not the bridge), let along a 'woman of color' as your Comms Officer (more inclined to think she was a HoD than just a DIVO). naming ships after our [i]real world mortal enemies[/i]... probably would have gotten ST canned much sooner... hmm.... here's a thought. can you name star ships using other than english? What's french for Intrepid or Exeter? could there be multiple namings of a particular word? *casts Summon Bablefish!* intrépide intrépido furchtlos бестрепетно this could be fun. in the world exports of Star Trek, do they translate the names of ships into local verbage?
