[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siwiak: [QB] I tend to find it more unrealistic for a Captain to have the choice in the whole NCC game. While I'd have liked to see a few more -As now and then, I agree that it should belong to a ship name is, for lack of a better word, special. Just because Harriman didn't do anything noteworthy in the movie doesn't mean that the suffix dies with him. Besides the point that a more capable Captain could have taken command later on and saved the Earth again, it just doesn't make sense to kill the line if one ship isn't breaking the records. There are a lot of naval vessel names that just get reused throughout history, because people grow attached to the name. Go to a history site and see just how many Lexingtons, Enterprises and so forth were built in the last 300 years. You don't scrap a name simply because something that got sunk before it had the same name... that's just not human. We give things names... we refer to them as "she," and we go so far as to pump a great deal of emotional investment into them. Ah crap... I haven't really made any good points, and I'm too lazy just to delete this. I'm gonna take a nap. [/QB][/QUOTE]
