Of course, it would have to be an ass-backwards Oberth-style vessel that is quickly obliterated by hostile aliens. Who then get their asses handed to them by heavy-duty Earth starships.

I collected 2000 of these, here. It's hard work to find many more, anything decent, anyway.

I don't know why, but when I read the title to this topic I thought to myself 'Discovery'. Usually I think of stupid names like 'Hood' or 'Warspite', but in this case 'Discovery' seems to fit the bill perfectly. :)

Shagohod is an odd choice given it means "treading behemoth".

I'd go with RN names that aren't too militaristic. I really can't stand naming ships after people most the time unless they truly earnt it, which is likely why I dislike most modern USN names. Places are okay for names, but ideas and mythos work better such as Vigilant or Griffin.

The role of the ship should dictate the name.
