Renamed my first carrier!

[erstad]

I think I've got the winner.

I'm playing Allies against Cuttlefish.

So of course I named a carrier.... Hibiki

He sure did. And you should have seen my face the first time that popped up on a combat report.

I will realy laugh hard if the true Hibiki sinks that carrier somehow.

It is normal to name great and powerfull ships after great and powerfull men!

This forum has spell check? Where?

No, really, WHERE!!!???

Try Firefox. Blocks ads (with an extension) and built in spell check. Doesn't seem to help me much, but it's there

[AW1Steve]

Or if you are using IE , then you can just add ispell. Its free.

Given todays political correctness, I think a good name would be U.S.S. Good Ship Lollipop.

I'm afraid you don't get it.
Maybe you just google "demozid" and "katyn". I shouldn't write more about that...

Yes, I know all about that.

Mabye its just me, but I don't see your point.


What you are saying is that you shouldn't name a Carrier USS Richard Nixon because of ie. the CIA Phinex Program (26 339 Executed - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Program ).

Its defiantly comparable to what you are saying above, that you shouldn't name the Carrier Stalin because of Katyn! (21 857 Executed - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre )

[Historiker]

Add 60.000.000 to Katyn, and we reach the actual data. Katyn is just worth mentioning, as there are some polish users on this forum...

But it is your game, you can call one carrier USS Adolf Hitler or USS Mao Zedong, too. It's your choice, I wouldn't "honor" any of those mass murderers...

[Patbgaming]

How about a Newbie Carrier.  ( USS Chitti Chitti Bang Bang )[:'(]

I support the USS Richard Nixon , not because I favor or support his politics (one way or the other) , but because ships names are "modified" by their crews. How could any male (hetro) sailor not be happy serving on "The Big Dick!"? [:D]

I'm not crazy about naming ships after dictators or mass murders, but what you do in your own games, but lets not share it here. [:-][:-][:-] 1) because it borders on political statements.[:(] 2) because such statements are by nature designed to provoke and cause argumenst (see "trolling"). 3) it serves absolutely no useful purpose. [:(]

When the bad outweights any possible good, lets cease and desist, drop it , avoid it, call it quits and move along. [:)]

I'd like to see A6Ms flying in from the Hibachi. Or, the Nissan. Or the Datsun. Or the Chop Sticks.

Sorry, I'm getting too silly.

I'd love to rename some of the IJN carriers. Alas, that's not possible...[:(]
