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

True. However, while I couldn't remember the name of the ship, I wasn't trying to. My thought processes went something like 'Hey, how about I change 'island' to 'ship'?'

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
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.
