[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I've heard this reservation about Grissom before, probably on this board. I think it's unfortunate, but I think they intended to honor Gus by naming a ship after him. If they were intending to blow that ship up, any name attached to it is going to be disrespected somewhat. Anyways, what percentage of named ships seen on screen get blown up in Star Trek? I bet it's pretty high. Regarding naming starships after Japanese ships in service of imperialist expansion, we also have Kongo and Akagi, of course. Yamato is an ancient name for Japan. Playing devil's advocate, I ask what would you all think if they had starships with the names of vessels used by Japan's ally, Nazi Germany. Would people get upset if we had USS Graf Spee or USS Bismarck? But one could argue that these ships were named after the pre-Nazi persons rather than the earlier ships. [/QB][/QUOTE]
