I'm reading a DS9 relaunch book and in it one of the runabouts stationed there is the runabout USS Ng. Now, we all know how the Danubes are named after rivers, but for the life of me I can't find the river Ng! Anyone know where it is?

My guess, as before, is Vietnam of that area ... Laos, Cambodia, etc. I tried looking it up on the net, but I got way too many replies ... NG also stands for "Not Given", and apparently, lots of stuff is "Not Given."

It probably is Indochina somewhere. It could be a smaller river that the author knows about personally. I mean, I could name a runabout the Shepaug if I wanted to since I know that it's a river where I grew up.
