I have a suggestion. Can we e-mail Mr. Okuda for verification of the spellings and the registries of these individual ships?
A question, I am no expert at art or art history. I have heard Goya's name associated with the art world. Was he a painter of some repute?
(I removed my earlier post for I felt Vogon Poet was correct in his opinion on that particular posting. It was very banal.)

Or we could just wait a few months for the freakin' movie to come out to see the names better. Oh wait, I forgot that some people here can't even wait a few days for things, never mind a few months.

I'm just doing a search for "Aires" on the offchance it's used as a word by itself, after all Buenos Aires presumably means something (Babelfish doesn't help, it just says it means Buenos Aires).
There's plenty more in that vein. It seems aires are the plural of air, as in a tune; "Air on a G String," that sort of thing. Can you have a ship called USS Tunes? 8)

Buenos Aires is Spanish for "good airs." I'll assume that the Argentine city doesn't have an smog problem like "Mals Aires" Houston. I can't find anything at the moment that could have starship named after him/her/it. Is anyone on the production staff named "Aires?"

Why is everyone looking into this so much? It's quite obviously a typo.

The Aries is 45167, and I'm almost certainly sure that's also the registry of the "Aires". Guess we have another one then. Still wondering what the Goya/Nova/Bova/whatever really is...

Oh, sure, we know it's the Aries, the registry appears to match. But whatcha gonna do if that Okudagram is in the final cut, huh? Assume some Federation computer can't spell? And what's the harm in a little intellectual exercise, in a Forum that seems to have threads about the most irrelevant and minor details imaginable?
