A moment of silence, as nobody cares about Miranda, because they're too busy watching Tali and Shep doing it.

Well, i wikied it last year when I did a history essay on battleship warfare.  Does that count?

Nope!  You win!

The Iowa class BBs must have been boring for such an essay, seeing as they were nothing but mobile gun platforms for shore bombardment and (later) missile launchers.

Actually the Iowa was used mainly for its AA role for fleet support, their main guns where used very little, but when they where they devistating. Infact the Jersey broke from her carrier group to provide assistants to another fleet which engaged the ****** fleet sent to take them out. When "Big J" Showed up the battle switched in favor of the US as the Jersey's guns helped in sinking the ****** fleet. The Iowa wasn't really a full fledge BB like the Bismark, or Yamamoto, they where Fast Battleships the quickest battleships ever built. This is why I had started building a design of these ships for a reintroduction into the Mass Effect Universe.

  

You know that Is not a bad idea, I was reading the  Codex entries and the Alliances likes  Carriers  faster battle ships more so then the large Dreadnaught class ships which the Alliance fleet only has 8 of each named after a Mountain on Earth,   Fuji, Kilamonjaruo, Everest,.   The frigates are named after  major battles  example the Normandy and in my Story its Sister ship the Mdiway.  I think the carriers would be named after world Leaders  Presidents and Prime Ministers, the Cruisers   my guess would  Cities and the Battleships would be Countries and/or  States 

Dreadnaughts are Battleships. WWI Dreadnaughts became Batteships in WW2 take a look a some of the old ship classifications size and tonage increase as well as gunsize between the gunships of the line.

 

Okay then if that case The Alliance has  not one but two classes of the  dreadnought  the  Everest class: Everest, Fuji,Elbrus and the Kilimanjaro class: Kilimanjaro, Tai Shan, Shasta, Aconagua, and Orizaba if you did not  know already... How  would you fit  that Iowa\\\\ class into  the mix, The reason I ask is because it sounds like great idea 

If I heard a spaceship was named Iowa, Id think it was some sort of space biodome farm thing.

OMG that was awkward, I thought "flings" was a different word.

The Russian and the Cossack elected to follow us to Greenmarsh, both desiring to investigate the rumors of involvement by immigrants from their self-same motherland in the murders there that Inpsector Vakarian had related. With a touring car appropriated from Dr. Newstead’s estate in train, we formed a rather diverse convoy, the likes of which were not seen often on such lonely country roads. Finally, the unexpectedly gruesome events and tasks of the morning complete, if not entirely behind me, I was able to turn my attention on the matter which we had traveled so far to pursue: the “Prothean Carvings.” Miss Williams, behind the wheel of the car, steadfastly refused Inspector Vakarian’s offer to drive so that she could consult with Miss Zorah and I on the matter. She claimed that have seen more than enough of the “damned things” as she called them. Knowing what I do now, I admire her mental fortitude in enduring even the suggestion of what those carvings held, for such tough-mindedness is seldom bestowed upon the gentler sex.

Such was Miss Zorah’s excitement at the promise of new development and revelation in the translation of her father’s book that she consented to have the tome open in her presence, even leaning close to examine the transcription my former student had made. So, heads very near to literally together, we began the laborious work of translation, though I suffered the occasional distraction from the poor condition of the roads, the speed at which Miss Williams insisted on driving said roads, and, most disconcertingly, a faintly sweet fragrance, as of ancient funereal incense, which seemed to cling to Miss Zorah’s veil. It was, I admit, a somewhat immoderate circumstance perhaps, but such was the necessity forced upon us both by the confines of the vehicle and the demands of our scholarly task.

Making liberal use of my dog-eared copy of della Porta’s De Furtivis Lieratum Notis as a reference, we were very quickly able to begin to ascertain the basic outline of the book, though many of my original theories formed using Miss T’soni’s aid were proven mistaken to a greater or lesser degree. It was, it seemed, a transcription of a much older work, most likely even copied down through the ages of Miss Zorah’s darkly-rumored ancestry, each generation adding more notes in the margins as they made use of the secrets contained therein. Remarkably, it purported to contain a history of the Prothean race predating the era of fall, decay, and obliteration that Dr. Newstead’s expedition had uncovered.

This “Book of Ilos,” as it was titled, hinted at terrible and fathomless cycles natural to this planet, a cosmic joke played upon the native inhabitants by the universe. In its very first paragraph, it advised an unceasing vigil be kept for the changing of the certain stars within the heavens, for only thus could the turning of this fatal cycle could be detected. As one who has hungered for knowledge and thirsted for understanding throughout my life, I knew well the dangers of delving overmuch. Some knowledge is not for the consumption of humanity, and some understanding can only be attained through the loss of one’s mind. My appetites, then, cannot be forgiven in hindsight, as even less than a day before I had witnessed what abominations could be dredged up by well-meaning seekers of truth. Therefore, I ask only sympathy from the reader; I foolishly sought that which I should not own, disguising my foolhardy and ignorant covetousness as an attempt to discharge my promise to Miss Zorah. For that must be the reason for my downfall, it must! The reverse is far too monstrous a blasphemy to even consider.

Oh GLaDos, that poor passive-aggressive robot with a tiny voice who was all alone in the world until people came and tried to murder her.

Shepard:  So what is that ship called?

Tali: The Reena.

Shepard:  And that one?

Tali: The Iowa.

Shepard:  And-wait.  What?

Tali:  It's an auxilliery hydroponic vessel.  Human make, I think.  Why?

Shepard:  You have no idea how well that ship is named.

Hydroponic, that reminds me of a song called "Craig Christ".  In the song, Craig, Jesus' brother, has Hydroponic stuff that him and Judas grows.

They dont seem necessary. I read the story, I look at the picture, and its kind of out of place.
