[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [qb]So you say the Archer could be named after another Archer? What if there have been two Archers? Say, a Starfleet Admiral from the Dominion war and Henry Archer? Would it be enough to have one USS Archer even if you want to honor both of them? We know that Starfleet has ships like the USS [i]Thomas[/i] Paine for example, to make it clear which Paine they mean (if there are more than one). Either they only have one important Archer from history (and several Paines) and it is not neccessary to name it USS [i]Henry[/i] Archer, or we finally have a solution for the 'one name, more than one ship'-problem (Melbourne, Lexingtion, Nova). :) [/qb][/QUOTE]I suspect the USS Thomas Paine is called that because USS Paine sounds identical to USS Pain, which wouldn't convey quite the right image to people they meet. :) The vast majority of ships named after people (I actually made a list in a thread once - it's about 50) use only their surname.
