[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] It's surprisingly honest of them to immortalize what are later seen as major cock-ups that way. What other "never again" ships do we have? Does Starfleet have those? Any battlesite-themed name could in theory qualify, but I'm looking for the likes of USS Hiroshima. Or perhaps USS Tian An Men. Ships are sometimes indeed explicitly named after multiple people. The The Sullivans is an obvious example, the Lewis and Clark another; but HMS Hood was also a nameshare, honoring multiple generations of seagoing heroes. The USN had at least USS Kaufmann, honoring a father and a son. And I think the Spruance did that, too. (Hmm. Perhaps we should be happy we got USS George H. W. Bush instead of a shorter form, so that the honor isn't unduly spread. :) ) Starfleet could have pulled the same trick with USS Archer. Or even USS Sarek and USS Surak, considering that Vulcans just plain *have* to recycle those 5-6-digit S...K names sooner or later. Unless the population of the planet is about 47 pairs of pointed ears at any given moment. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
