Automatic name generator for individual ships!
Instead of "Paladin 0001", "Paladin 0002", "Paladin 0003", etc. for your Paladin-class ships, you could have automatically generated names from name fragments (i.e. you combine "USS ", "Ran", and "dall" to get "USS Randall") much as character names are generated in Angband, though perhaps with some more sophistication: you could have more or fewer than three name fragments per name, and name fragment choices could be determined by the role you assign to the ship (e.g. you could designate all attack ships and scout ships to be "USS Whatever" and all transports to be "UPS Whatever"  )
Would help with role playing in larger games when it's not possible to name every ship manually, and I don't think it would be too hard to implement

Well As least the auto option to specify the lead name such as USS, IKS, or other. The names should come from a file like the class names. But do you know how large that file will have to be? We are talking 20,000 names at a min.
But having the ship come off the assembly line with the USS 0001 or IKS 0001 would be nice.
