Ship names

> USS Very Stable Genius
> USS Covfefe
All the rest would be given numerical designations in order of their commission.

Anything huge gets an unimpressive name, anything small gets an over-the-top name. The enemy hears about the USS Rusty Tub coming thier way, their information chain will be confused as to why it's even important. Then as they're going after the USS Godslayer, they'll have a dreadnaught coming up thier ass while they're chasing a tugboat.

Also make sure to change the rythm up a bit here and there, so the names always catch them off gaurd.

>jinx maze class assault ship can hold 500 fully equipped marines in her lower decks

I'm going to say these names don't have to be restricted to one certain nation's features or history. So I won't give specifics, just the general conventions.
>Battleships/ Battlecruisers
(Would not be constructed in modern times, but this seems like a WW2-era idea).
Capital surface combatants are named after heroic or imposing sounding adjectives/words and each class will have the same letter beginning the names of the ships. (But nothing like "Invincible" or that equates to "unsinkable" or "unkillable". That is just asking for an even bigger morale loss if it went down.)

>Super Carriers
>Fleet Carriers
Mountains and volcanoes.
>Light carriers
Lakes and rivers.

>Cruisers
Historic battles.

>Destroyers
>Frigates
Melee weapons and pieces of armor.
>Fast Ships (think german schnellboots)
Flowers. (With an image of their namesake painted on the bow next to their hull number)

>Attack Subs
Sharks and other predatory fish species.
>Ballistic Missile Subs
Whales and porpoises.
(Each sub of both types has a silhouette of their namesake painted on the sail.)

Also throwing in:
>Amphibious landing transports
States/provinces.
>Amphibious platforms/ helo carriers
Cities.
>Fuel/munitions/supply ships
Metals and minerals.
>Intelligence ships
Constellations.

USS Nigger Jones

>Mountains and volcanoes.
Absolutely fucking retarded.
>Historic battles.
So basically locals. Unless you're proposing names like USS Bataille de Poitiers (732) or HMS Third Cod War.
>Flowers
Lol, what?

This can only end well.

I tried to avoid doing anything named after an individuals since it becomes too controversial who is worthy of that honor. The reasoning behind mountains and volcanoes was since they're Earthly features and not specific to one nation (People from around the world would recognize some of the names) They're also high peaks, and volcanoes bring destruction from above with ash clouds and lava bombs, so I saw it as fitting for something that puts aircraft up. The lakes and rivers for light carriers was kind of a compliment to the natural features idea.
I was kind of stuck with those two.

Battles are something that would be dependent on whichever nation's ship it was.
Flowers were kind of a rushed idea for something that sounded small and that there was a large pool of names to choose from since fast boats and patrol ships would be numerous.

Any name of a famous admiral
Also ships are male

Ships were traditionally the only females at sea, so the sailors were sure to take care of her.

>it becomes too controversial who is worthy of that honor
Depends on a country, but I get what you mean. Still, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of non-controversial universally acclaimed historical figures in any country that has any navy to speak of.
>The reasoning behind mountains and volcanoes was since they're Earthly features and not specific to one nation (People from around the world would recognize some of the names) They're also high peaks, and volcanoes bring destruction from above with ash clouds and lava bombs, so I saw it as fitting for something that puts aircraft up.
This just comes around as completely fucking random. Actually I can't recall any military hardware named after major geographical locations, ever. Like there's a couple of Russian missile systems named after rivers, but that's that I think. And mountains are some of the worst environments to launch aircraft. Sorry, but it's just a fucking weird pick for a name pattern.
>Battles are something that would be dependent on whichever nation's ship it was.
Sure and there are examples of this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_(1815_ship)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_battleship_Borodino
I guess I'm was being nitpicky here with saying the names themselves aren't like "battle of yadayada XX.XX.XXXX".

That's fine. The ones you called out were the hardest ones for me to come up with since I felt like my "good" ideas were already decided on, so I kind of anticipated some questioning over why. The natural features (mountains and rivers, and others) or poetic ideas was a Japanese thing.
>-kaze = wind
>-nami = wave
>-ryu = dragon
Stuff like that where they could stick on a prefix and have many names.

>The natural features (mountains and rivers, and others) or poetic ideas was a Japanese thing.
Did they actually have such ship names? Never heard of it.
>wind
>wave
This stuff is very common with Russian corvette names.

Also you omitted adjectives, which seems to be the way to go in Europe. Like, if you doubt, just slap something like Invincible, Le Terrible or Circumspect on it and it will do.

Actually I'm fucking blind, sorry.

Why did they paint the white and red strippes on the deck?

So that finding Wally wouldn't have been a piece of cake.

>Wally
EUROS OUT

SS ESSS ESSS ESSS ESSSSS ESSSSS.

So friendly aircraft wouldn't mistake them for enemy ships.

You keep Jow Forums and wee keep the rest of the world. Deal?
