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 name
My 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

BTW, what kind of name is Repulse anyway...is the ship supposed to be repulsive, does it have a repulsive crew...

I guess its supposed to be like you repulsed something such as the troops repulsed the attack.

Repulse was named after a British Navy Ship in one of the world wars. Many British Navy ships were named with verbs
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
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...?

Another 17th Century Royal Navy ship was the HMS Association. Almost like an enterprise, really. . .

Repulse and defiant are nearly synonomous, so what's the hurt?

I used to try not to use "the" before ship names, but everyone else does, so I don't worry about it so much anymore...

So you're supposed to put a "the" before a U.S.S., but not an HMS?

Was't it sunk with torps on its way from HongKong or SIngapore to safer ports when Japan captured these cities ?
------------------ I did'nt do it.
Posted by Federation Shipmaster (Member # 15) on :
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.
