I'm old school. I named them for old ships of the USN that had been cancelled or renamed. I particularly like USS Reprisal. I named another USS Retailiation.They are going to sail with Enterprise2. And I just might name another for a famous British ship. USS Revenge. Not that I'm annoyed with Chickenboy or anything! [:D]

[Kwik E Mart]

i've always felt a little sorry for all the other sea creatures that missed the boat (pun intended) when naming US submarines...how about our friends the whales?

USS Blue
USS Humpback
USS Killer

and of course

USS <self censored>...use your imaginations, folks...

Well, you may want to make sure that you paint the right word on the bow. I'd run that 'Retailiation" through a spellcheck before you waste a good bottle of champagne on it. [:'(]

"Retailiation"-isn't that basically a pricing war between two retailers? You know, like when Walgreens cuts their prices and CVS "retailiates"? [:'(]

One could go the George Foreman route and name them all "George" It would certainly make intelligence difficult when one is attacked by 300 aircraft from the seemingly same carrier.

Well, there was a USS Whale.

I still think USS Sand Lance is the best sub name ever.

Or you could get an Abbot and Costello routine going by naming one US Submarine.

Japanese intel analyst: "Sir! US Submarine sighted!"

Officer: "Good work! Which submarine?"

Analyst: "US Submarine"

Officer: "I heard you the first time. Whcih submarine?"

Analyst: "US Submarine"

Officer, drawing sword . . .

The USN has had that problem when ships have the same last name. Like Joseph P. Kennedy in service at the same time as John F. Kennedy.

And of course Orca . Vice killer. Then you have to decide, Cachalot,Sperm or "Carpenter-fish". All the same whale.

So the one time I skip spell check you bust my chops? Yeah CB. That's right. I'm gonna make the cost so high it drives you out of business![:D] I wasn't going to be using champagne (there's a war on , you know!). All my carriers get christened with Japanese blood!


Maybe I should name the ships after your carriers once I sink them (and include the date od sinking!)? [:D]

This forum has spell check? Where?
