those are some clever names. I think the best name I ever saw on a ship when at lake Michigan was "Moose and Squirrel". Recently saw one named Bikini Bottom with Spongebob on it *shudders*

I named my band in Guitar Hero: World Tour to "SpongeBob's Revenge"

Perhaps that would work for a ship in Rogue Trader as well?

I suppose i'd get lynched if i suggested Captain Morgans Revenge

So long and thanks for all the fish...

Our Lunar Class Cruiser, Luscinia Argentum , is a nice "home." Sometimes the Void feels more like home than anything else. =) I think the Latin names sound very nice to the background of 40K, but sometimes the non-latin names are just more fun. LOL. Depends on the Captain and crew I guess.

Gilded Eagle Lunar Class Cruiser

The "Flit" , a tiny (600 meter) Custom ship used regularly in my Dark Heresy games.

The ship names in the Halo Series could make some good ones for RT/DH

Ascendant Justice

Purity of Spirit

Shadow of Intent

There are a few less grandiose names in the Halo universe as well; a number of civilian cargo freighters have been mentioned in various places, including the This End Up , Bulk Discount , Contents Under Pressure , Horn of Plenty , and Wholesale Price . Other UNSC (United Nations Space Command) vessels have names that are less poetic/grandiose as well: the Two for Flinching , the Do You Feel Lucky , and the Glasgow Kiss (the term being a colloquialism for a heat-butt).

The ones I listed are just what I remember off the top of my head. Also vehicles and Vessels from several anime series could be good inspiration for RT/DH Ships.

I like the Glasgow Kiss very much XD

If my Explorers might die on their next Endeavor , this might very well be the name of the next vessel

The ship for our upoming campaign will be named the " Ascension ", chosen in sharp competition with " Sovereign "

My Rogue traders ship is the Dragons bane an exploratory ship.

I think the joke behind it is pretty obvious.

Red October

Enterprize

Sum of all Fear

My characters ship is called:

The Emperor's Sabre

Hammersly

Emperor's Fist.

We've just played our first session yesterday (well, made characters actually). But our Ship will bear the proud name
