UNSC ship names

Never a Galaxy Class. The temptation to name on Enterprise would be
overpowering... and then the desire for every other force to blow it
up.... equally huge.....

People commented on my namings be North-Americo-Centric. Well, I live
here. I just happen to know those names. Others were not included just
so I didn't appear terribly ignorant by mis-labelling things from other
places. They were not meant to be precluded, just left to the imagination of
those who live there. I did include things like Christchurch and Bristol.....
:)

UNSC ship names for ships I missed:

Physician-Class Medical Cruiser (CMH): UNS Banting, UNS Best, UNS Curie,
UNS Heimlich, UNS Keon, UNS Koop, etc.

Peace-Class Provider: UNS Theodore Roosevelt (the Teddy as she is
known), UNS T. Woodrow Wilson, UNS Aristide Briand, UNS Albert Schweitzer, UNS
George C. Marshall, UNS Lester B. Pearson, UNS Dag Hammarskjold, UNS Martin
Luther King, UNS Andrei Sakharov, UNS Anwar Sadat, UNS Menachim Begin, etc.

(This last group is culled from http://www.almaz.com/nobel/nobel.html
which is a mighty neat spot).

Tell me, did anyone else look at the new ship and think
"Hmm, I wonder if a the Ragtag crew of the SDN-X UNS Crusade can journey
forth to find the cure for the horrible plague that the KV drop on Sol
in 2191... crewed by a hard-headed captain, and a crew of varying
misfits and aliens, and accompanied by some sort of Techno-Mage (or
Possibly John Crimmins in one of his Illuminated Disguises)....."

And I'll bet the emitters on the wingtips together form about a class-8
beam battery..... but of course it knocks the FC down for a turn afterwards,
and the drives....

And the teeth of whatever idiot fired it without telling the crew...

I was kind of thinking Peacekeeper class for the big guy, and working the way
down for the other classes. Apparently the scout ships are "Futurist" class,
but I think that Physician class, Composer class, Artist class, etc., would be
a good way to go.

Somehow, the natural features method just doesn't work for me. It seems a
little too...drab, I guess. Not the actual ship names, but the "Archipeligo
class Frigate" plain doesn't work for me.

I'm not admitting to anything. But everyone knows that the UN and conspiracy
theory go hand in hand in hand. And wouldn't that new ship look really cool in
black?

Oh, and according to Wired the B5 sim game is not yet dead. It's coughing up
blood, but it's still being shopped around. Keep your fingers
crossed....

This begs for a call from the Narn Bat Squad if I ever saw one...
