Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
Wouldn't that be Gilligan's Colony?
You could call your colony ships "SS Minnow" for an obscure reference.

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
-waffen SS (and all other WWII SS related things)
-beer
-XXX rated (ofcourse ya start with X rated and continue from there xx etc)
-uss mayonaise
-the woody
we dutchies where great shipbuilders around that time and we made sure not to let em sink in the harbour as far as I know 
the ship ur reffering to (I think) is the Vasa: or an English ship a few years earlier... but the idea is the same:
The Vasa sank within one nautical mile of the start of her maiden voyage in 1628 before she even left the Stockholm archipelago There was a sudden squall, her gun ports were still open and when she listed heavily to port, the gun ports sank below water level and water gushed in. bye bye man-O-war
