I was watching "First Contact" last night and thought I heard a reference to a "USS Natchez." This can be heard at the end of the radio chatter before EntE decides to go and fight the Borg. Also mentioned is a "Cmdr Busby." I checked for this ship in several databases, including Creighton's "Star Trek Ships: Expanded," but could not find it. Can anyone confirm this ship name? (By the way, Natchez is a famous town on the Mississippi, SS Natchez is a Mississippi River paddle wheeler, and USS Natchez was a sub-chasing WWII frigate.)

There was also a USS Wyoming which I remember hearing in the comm chater too, but I don't remember a Natchez

Sounds like Commander Luxby of the Manson.

There's a "wyo--" spoken in the comm chatter, but that could be "I can see Wyoming from here!" or "Why oh why must we fight the Borg?".

This reminds me of when I went to see FC in the theatre with my friends when it first came out. The Battle/Comm Chatter scene had just ended, and my friend leaned over to me and asked "Did he just say Nachos? What do nachos have to do with the Borg?"

Anyway, I guess one more person has heard a similar reference.
