I was able to videotape the episode "Tacking into the Wind". Several points about the runabout and runabouts in general- 1. thie runabout's correct registry is NCC-73918 (I made a mistake by stating the registry is NCC-73916) 2. this runabout has no nameMy hypothesis- Runabouts, along with scout ships (Insurrection) and shuttlecrafts, are given a registry before a name. The name is given by the commanding officer. Further, these ships have no dedication plaques. It could be that Starfleet sees these three types as auxiliary ships. Evidence: NCC-2544/10 NCC-75227 NCC-73918

Repulse was named after a British Navy Ship in one of the world wars. Many British Navy ships were named with verbs

But why wouldn't they use a relevant verb? I mean, what kind of name is HMS Repulse? Why not have HMS Fall Over and HMS Vomit, too...?*points out that that was, indeed, a rhetorical question* ------------------ "Sew, very old one! Sew like the wind!" -Martin Short, The Three Amigos

No, I think it was based in India. I'm not sure though. It and some British battleship were destroyed together. I think the Atlantic Charter was signed on the Repulse.------------------ What bloke invented signatures?
