At least the British realized that they should avoid launching an HMS Pansy, when they changed the name of Flower class K15 to the HMS Heartsease

They did keep HMS Periwinkle, HMS Peony, HMS Petunia, HMS Buttercup, HMS Gladiolus, HMS Atholl (say that 5 times fast), and HMS Crocus (not quite as bad as CINCUS)

Not keeping tabs on krill casualties? [X(][:-]

The management enforces a strict no crustracean policy. Any person(s) known to have brought crustaceans onto the premises will be subject to a $500 fine or 2 months in jail (or both if you have a really crappy lawyer)

This reminds me of the time I went to see a newborn at the hospital and there was a question if the mother might have had scabies. They put the poor woman in a laminar flow isolation room with a big yellow and red sign on the door that read:

ARTHROPOD PRECAUTIONS

Any visiting arthropods were required to pass through a metal detector and get a pat down by hospital security.

I didn't think she really had scabies so I humanely let her keep her baby. What a guy, eh?

We have a problem with Cholo Arthropods around here.

This reminds me of another funny thing (at least to me).

The French get a delicious deep fried potato named after them.

The Mexicans get a cool Hat Dance and a bean that jumps

The Irish get an expensive whiskey

but the Norwegians get a rat and a particularly nasty skin infestation named after them (Norwegian Scabies) [:D]

[sprior]

Or:

The French get a missive named after them
The Spanish get a windlass named after them
The Dutch get faux bravery named after them

Don't ask what a capot anglais is.

I am partial to the USS Pyro, an ammunition ship.[:)]

USS Queerbarge is pretty funny too.

I remember (vaguely) from when I was an internal medicine intern in 1979-80 that we were taught about USN ship naming rules during my mandatory Saturday morning 6:00 -7:00 AM "operational medicine lectures" taught by a bunch of brain-dead administrator-Captain-lifer types.

CVs: named after famous US navy battles, US Presidents, US Admirals, and the occasional Congressman/Senator who delivered huge $ to the Nav.

DDs: named after courageous USN sailors and officers.

Hunter/Killer attack subs: US cities.

Boomers: US states, historical patriots, and/or comtemporary US Senators/Congressmen who appropriated huge $ to the Nav.

"Gator Navy" amphibious assault ships: State counties, US naval battles.

Ammo ships: named after FRICKIN' VOLCANOS!!!!! ('Cause that's what they look like once they get hit, we were told...)

No wonder that we all put in for duty with CVs, Desrons, even the 3rd MARDIV during the Iranian Hostage Crisis, etc,. rather than requesting a relaxing, worry-free year aboard the Haleakala, Shasta, or Mt. Baker...[8D]

At least they had the sense to pick inactive volcanos. [:)]

Is there a USS Pinatubo or USS Mt. St. Helens [:)]

Pyro was actually AE(1) and she was converted to that purpose so my guess the first example was an accident that someone found funny then they go with volcanos for the whole class. [:D]
