[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] But if Sisko gets to choose the names, then who's to say the commander of SB 123 wouldn't choose to name her runabouts after Vulcan winds? Perhaps Sisko was the first customer of the type (which indeed is a novelty item, according to O'Brien in "Paradise"), and thus got to name USS Danube - which, in the end, wasn't delivered to him, or was lost in an offscreen incident. Or then the class was supposed to be named after Strauss walzes, or after M'Wabanga Danube, the famous warlord-microbiologist from Kenya, and Sisko was just clueless. The likeliest scenario: If users get to name their runabouts, there probably exists a database of available names to prevent 47 craft from being named "USS Hot Rod" simultaneously. And that database might contain the suggestion/outright limitation that Earth river names be used.* Sisko just picked one to go with the factory-painted registry number. Timo Saloniemi * No, "USS River Phoenix" cannot be used. Adm. Nechayev already got the dibs for her VIP transport. [/QB][/QUOTE]
