On a related subject, I used to have a gameboy sub game where you could name your Sub. My was the US Sub Standard.
Worst name for a ship:
HMS. Invincible, as this name alone will result in the immediate and, often, pathetically stupid destruction of any ship.
- SS. Can't Hit Me
- USS. Essess
- Sinker
- Flounder
- Derelict
- Dereliction of Duty
- SS. Oceanus (a Passenger liner that went down in 1991 and the crew all bailed and left the passengers behind. Note the captain was given a new command a few weeks laters of a Ferry).
- Any ramming ship named "dodge" or "jumper"
- Any tanker or highly-flammable ship named after a living, ruling emperor.
