[QUOTE]Originally posted by StarCruiser: [QB] Quoted from Dat: Even though it seems that Starfleet is based off the US Navy, one has to remember the US Navy is based off the Royal Navy. They were the ones that got the reformed and modernized navy that everyone else followed. And Lexington was an American carrier in WW2. But let's see: Enterprise: most famous as an American carrier in WW2, though there was also an HMS Enterprise during that time. Defiant: no reference Lexington: I just stated above Yorktown: American carriers in WW2 Constitution: American Revolutionary War frigate still in active service Constellation: no WW2 reference except it almost became an American battlecruiser, though 1800's American frigate still intact - Comment: Technically a "Sloop of War", not the old Constellation of the Quasi-War with France or the War of 1812. Farragut: no WW2 reference that I'm aware of, but would likely be only American ships - Comment: USS Faragut was a destroyer, first totally new destroyer built after WWI. Named for David Farragut (naval hero). Republic: unknown Potemkin: Russian, though I believe it came from a fiction source - Comment: Russian Battleship involved in an early 20th century munity, prior to the 1917 Revolution. Hood: British battleship in WW2, though was it a battlecruiser? - Comment: Battlecruiser sunk by the KMS Bismark. Terrible loss of life, and loss of a graceful, if fragile, ship. Excalibur: I believe it came from a fiction source - Comment: King Authur's mystical sword. Essex: American carrier in WW2 Kongo: Japanese battleship in WW2 I believe Intrepid: American carrier in WW2 I believe Exeter: British warship in WW2 I believe (don't recall type though) - Comment: British Heavy Cruiser, lost with ABDA (American, British, Dutch, Australian) naval forces in the pacific, some time after engaging the KMS Graf Spee at the River Platte. End Quote - notes in body of quote... [/QB][/QUOTE]
