Author Topic: Origins of "Renegade" and "Rutledge" The Mighty Monkey of Mim SUPPOSED TO HAVE ICE POWERS!! Member # 646 posted                       Where do these names (as ships) originate? Famous Royal/U.S. Navy ships?

There isn't a Renegade in Jane's and I don't recall hearing the name. Probably was one in WWII; sounds more RN than USN. -------------------- "I am an almost extinct breed, an old-fashioned gentleman, which means I can be a cast-iron son-of-a-bitch when it suits me." --Jubal Harshaw Registered: Feb 2002  |  IP: Logged Veers You first Member # 661 posted                    Or they just said: "Hey, Mike, we can't think of a cool name for this ship."

Member # 646 posted                       I agree that Renegade sounds more British as far as a ship name goes. SO, there havn't been any famous fighting ships named Rutledge? Why does it sound so familiar? What about "Republic"?

Rutledge always maked me think of Rutland, which is in south central Vermont. -------------------- "The French have a saying: 'mise en place'—keep everything in its fucking place!"
