1. Love Boat
2. Daise Peddle
3. Peace Lover
4. Flower Power
5. Anti War Movement
6. Free Love
7. Unarmed
8. Love Machine
9. Lover

But why stick to namby-pamby names? I've got a whole names file full of 'extreme' names for ships. Beside the obvious like 'Blitzkrieg' or 'Heavy Hitter' I've got lots of ambiguous Catch-22 type names for the general 'I hate this' flavor of war that no 'realistic' empire would ever use.
