[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] I don't like the existence of USS Starship either, but it seems to fit. There are several explanations I can think of: 1) Some silly person named a freighter or something Starship, and it did something really special, and so they named a ship in honour of it, even though it was a silly name. 2) As I have already suggested, it was a prototype that never did anything, and so its name wasn't important. 3) Starfleet was trying to make a point - that this would be the definitive class of starship, which would surpass all others. (If this is the case, it would seem that they were right) 4) Someone in Starfleet just chose the name on a whim, and no-one thought to object, not knowing it would be assigned (randomly?) to a class ship. Also, two other points: 1) This is the organisation that launched the Federation Starship Federation, misspelled Brattain on a ship's hull and painted the wrong number on their latest battleship we are talking about. :) 2) We don't know (canonically speaking) what USS stands for. Perhaps its not the United Star Ship Starship, but the United Space Ship Starship or United Systems Ship Starship instead. [/QB][/QUOTE]
