[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] I also wondered about this at one time, too, especially with the Cortez. However, not very many people know that the real Cortez was a butchering conquerer; he certainly was never portrayed in that light when I learned about him and other conquistadores back in elementary school. Conversely, I'm pretty sure that we will never see a U.S.S. Hitler or a Stalin-class starship either, simply because EVERYBODY knows how hideous those men were. I came to the conclusion that there isn't any ulterior motive with starship naming, and that most of these names are randomly applied unless there's a specific reason for the name. I'd bet that if Brannon Braga had his way, I'm sure every ship in Starfleet would be named after a city in Montana. Of course there's always the cop-out that "Cortez" or "Malinche" is referring not to who we think they are, but to some fictitious future people in the ST universe with the same last names. Yeah, right... [/QB][/QUOTE]
