[QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]USS Bill of Rights sounds a bit awkward. Is there a vessel of that name in USN service? Was there ever? Then again, if a USN ship can be named USS Lewis and Clark, or USS The Sullivans, I guess USS Bill of Rights is okay as well... Timo Saloniemi [/qb][/QUOTE]Yippee, old thread! Never too late to learn something new. :) My copy of [i]Best Destiny[/i] has a dedication to "the young men and women in the Vision Quest program, and to the crews of the Schooners [i]New Way[/i] and [i]Bill of Rights[/i], who prove that troubled youth can not only be saved...they can save themselves." Presumably the [i]Excelsior[/i] in the book is named after the schooner. It ties in with the novel's own theme about Kirk's childhood. [i]Best Destiny[/i]'s technobabble sets my teeth on edge even more than the average Voyager episode. But as an exploration of Kirk's character I found it a fascinating read. I never would have compared Kirk to Grant, but once [i]they[/i] did it seems perfectly apt. Marian [/QB][/QUOTE]
