TOS Federation Shipnames file

I'll preface this because of all shipnames files, this one might generate the most sniping lol.
Firstly, this list is based on the Star Fleet Battles Ship Registration Charts, Themes (like major rivers for medium freighters and huge ass current tankers and freighters for large freighters, ect), and COMMON SENSE, ie, they wouldn't just mysteriously renumber a heavy cruiser like the Constellation back down to the '10...' series, but would keep with the classic '17...' series. All other ship classes are numbered up and down from this baseline, so Destroyers are 16.. Capitals I went with 20...
The Enterprise was a Constitution Class (named after the revolutionary USS Constitution heavy frigate in the War of Independence, which is also the 'baddy' ship in 'Master and Commander'. Google it)
This class was most definitely a Heavy Cruiser (CA) class, not a battleship class. The later Enterprises of course got bigger and bigger, but the base TOS series ships are most definitely Cruisers, not capital ships, so I have changed that in my mod, and made an Excelsior top down the model for the Capital ship class.
Also, the heavy US naming of ships has been somewhat reduced, so there will be lots of WWII Japanese ship names, German ship names, British ship names, even some Chinese ship names.
You'll notice some themes appear and then disappear in the naming, see if you can spot them all.
This should give you more than enough names to play a full standard game without ever having to name a ship!
