Re: Naming Ships
Greetings all, The current Mrs GT has gone out briefly so I can get on the computer.
Naming ships? gosh, that is something I spend an awful lot of time doing. Being a military history buff and a royal navy buff to boot, my ship classes are varied and excellent.
My design name will generally follow a format where I use ship nomenclature, a code letter to identify specialised type of vessel and then class name itself, for example
"DDm Araguia" means Araguia class missile destroyer
"DDe Javelin" means Javelin class escort destroyer
"CLa Argo II" means Argo class assault cruiser, 2nd refit
"MFt Hispaniola x-bis" means Hispaniola class military transport Xiati war specialised refit"
With regard to class names, I have absolute stacks of naval history and therefore generally enough class names to do pretty much anything....
Personal preferences are mythological names so you will always find "CLa Achilles, CLa Agamemnon, CLa Menelaus" etc in my fleets.
Oops, Grendel is coming back so I better go
