[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Or "M/ARA", for that matter. Starfleet seems to be a pretty curious working environment in the respect that no abbreviations, groan-inducing or otherwise, are substituted for full-length technobabble. The various Tech Manuals thus ring a bit untrue with their assorted TLAs. Apparently, Starfleet does not believe in "EVA"s but in "spacewalks". Which, IMHO, is a positive thing... I completely agree that shuttles shouldn't get formal "class names". They should get nicknames, though - AND fancy manufacturer names optimized for marketability, even if Starfleet does not adopt those. "Clydesdale" could be of the latter sort. Something similar to "shutug" would no doubt emerge as well, although spelled out like all technobabble and not abbreviated. Any reason to think this actually is a tug of some sort?
