[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] And of course, SS Essess. Hey, if you want weird-sounding names that would still be applied on Federation ships, how about each of us listing some classic names from our real national fleets? Perhaps not the names of famous persons (those can be too controversial or too obscure), but rather some cool-sounding words in the respective language. There are enough non-American, non-British members here to create a hefty pool of exotic names. Here are some venerable Finnish ones (from our old icebreaker fleet - the actual Navy uses a dull scheme of city and county names that isn't very useful here). Translations added: USS Sisu ("guts", stubbornness) USS Karhu (bear) USS Urho (braveheart) USS Voima (strength) USS Apu (help) USS Turva (support, protection) USS Isku (strike) USS Murtaja (breaker) USS Kaleva (uh, this has got to do with our national-romantic-pseudo-historic epic - you know, like the Niebelung stories of Germany, or Roland's song, or King Arthur, etc.) USS V�in�m�inen USS Ilmarinen (two heroes from the said epic, "Kalevala") Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
