We've already designated a flying-bomb ship based on canon observations... The Connie will be in combat, with likely updated (though still ineffectual) weapons. Hey - the Mirandas could do it.
And here's a quick progress pic and quiz! While finding lots of AM modellers to work up new models has been something of a challenge, we ARE making progress in new models. Here's proof. Questions follow:
1. What ship is this?
2. While there has been no canonical designation for the ship or its class, fandom has given at least one potential class name. What is it?

I'm guessing the hideous concept model of Enterprise with the cardboard tube nacelles and forward-set bridge.
That model was among the W359 wreckage after all. I've seen it called the "Apollo class".

I think Karl's done a pretty good job so far. No idea where to place the decals for the name, registry, etc., as the original had none.

Well if it were me I'd put "starship uss....united federation..." pennant along the neck, close to where it attatches to the secondary hull. Another pennat, this one with only the name & reg on the outside face of each of the nacelles.
The saucer is a little tricky, obviously because of the position of the bridge, but I'd put two sets of name & reg flanking on the port and starboard sides (like the e-nil has the reg on the ventral surface of the saucer) and then have the full name and reg near the front edge of the saucer's ventral side. Possibly a small decal of the name just in front of, or perhaps even on the forward face of the bridge itself.

That would do it if the name of the ship were, say, U.S.S. Gage. How could that be standardised for really long names, though - way longer than NCC-XXXXX, as Apollo-class ships are thought to be?

The same way. Look.
See the red areas? You can put it allllll in there. Even in front of the bridge. Just center & move accordingly. Works even if the ship is named USS Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, USS Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, or USS Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit.
