Ship names

Inspired by the nicknames thread.

What names would you like to see preceded by EAS? And why.


Omega class:
Simms (for Raphael Simms, captain of the Confederate navy, pioneer of commerce raiding)
Ramon (Israeli Air Force Col. Illan Ramon- led the rais in 1982 on Iraq nuclear program-killed on the shuttle Columbia)
Hood
Bismark
Arizona
Yamato
Akagi
Ark Royal
Saratoga (WWII cruiser, battleships and carriers)

Explorer class:
Roddenberry
Straczynski (well duh...)

I'm pretty sure those are loyal to Clark, or taken over by the Shadows or something that would let us show 'em how it's done. As it were.

No, there's nothing about Bush that's world class.
Case in point: MOAB, compensation perhaps?

I think the Omega destroyers are usually named for Greek or Roman mythological figures. Those names might be better suited for a Hyperion/Midwinter or Nova.
