I imagine a submarine named Flasher must have a crew wearing trench coats. [:D]

Rather harmless, compared to the RN:

HMS Spanker
HMS Desperate
HMS Urge
HMS Swallow [:-]

I was thinking that exact eposode, Enterprise attacks four similar ships, thought the one hit hardest was Lexington, too bad these old shows are not archived online.. maybe I can find a script .

Yes, another Star Trek Geek here.

Episode is called "The Ultimate Computer". Ships were, Hood, Lexington, Potempkin, Excalibur. Oh and the robot ship was called the Wodin.

Kirk out.

For you Star Trek fans, there was also a Yorktown I believe.

Anyways, I think my favorite ship name is the AK Wallingford. I think of the programmers working late at night thinking, "We need another name for a transport." as they are drinking some coffee in their office. They look at the coffee machine and see Wallingford coffee. "I got it, let's name it Wallingford!"
