*named some of the greatest men in history, although Ohm sounds terrible i belive he deserves one too , didnt give first names cuz youshould already know them all

I was going to make a list with only Greek scientists, but first-name-only ship names don't sound good. 

[ThatGamerWithSouvlaki285]

SSV Stalin
SSV Rommel (german ww2 tank general)
SSV Miltiades ( greek commander at the battle of marathon)
SSV Leonidas

And my personal favorite due to the sense of irony:
SSV Mahatma Gandhi

And before the panty-bunching commences about naming one for the Desert Fox, actually read a biography. Refused direct orders to execute POWs and 'undesirables' during his North African campaign, and was implicated in an assassination plot against Hitler, then chose suicide to preserve the safety of his family when discovered.

Not a National Socialist, just a German military officer they pinned a swastika on.



That said, I don't think he made the contribution to global affairs that's required to get a Systems Alliance carrier named after you. Einstein, Aristotle, Kepler; those whose genuine contributions left ripples in human civilization that can still be felt after the political realities of their time are long put to rest. Maybe a Jefferson, but I'd personally say no given how diluted and hijacked his political philosophy has become in the modern age.

Thanks for the support, i was worried abit of being branded  as a National Socialist when i put it up, True that Rommel wasn't a major player in global affairs, however you cant deny that the main revoulitionised tank warfare and  military officers still using his strategist even today. Infact, there is a destroyer in the german navy named after him.

But it's no longer on duty ;-)

I'd like these ones:

SSV Bob Marley
SSV Jimmy Wales (WikiPedia Founder)
SSV Christopher Columbus
SSV Isaac Newton
SSV Leonardo da Vinci

On duty or not, it still confirms that rommel is not an inappropriate name for a ship. Love to see the SSV Bob Marley, imagine a ship run by drugged out rastafarians. I think it is unlikely for a ship to be named Jimmy Wales.
Other names for a ship is: 
SSV Alcibiades ( Greek general in the peloponisian war)
SSV Hippocrates
SSV Acropolis
SSV Constantinople ( Modern day Istanbul)
I know there Greek names but what can I say... I am Greek.

I think for irony's sake you should just name all of the warships after winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.

[ThatGamerWithSouvlaki285]

Here is a nice simple name for a carrier:

SSV Kick Your Ass ;-)

[wizardryforever]

Isaac Newton, but only if the carrier bearing his name is the deadliest in space.

Leibnitz also bears mentioning as the disputed inventor of calculus.

Most scientists would be best, since they can be recognized for their contributions to humanity as a whole and not one nation.  Politicians are difficult to cast in that light, as are most military leaders.  Religious leaders are also disputable.  This rather thins the list of candidates.

George Patton

*The SSV Penn & Teller would be funny

Are you joking?  Penn & Teller would fit right in with that list.  Your choices are three American presidents (only one of whom had any significance on history whatsoever), an economist whose only noteworthy attribute was that he was libertarian, a guy whose VERY EXISTENCE you are unsure of, and two American generals.  I love Patton, but he's more noteworthy for his attitude than his achievements.  At least Eisenhower was a supreme commander.  The OP seems very much like you trying to make an excuse to say "go libertarians."  I don't think this is the right place to make (thinly veiled) threads for political discussion.

thompsmt's list, as noted, is a pretty good place to start.  Although I don't agree with all the choices, it's mostly quality.  A few suggestions:
Adam Smith
Karl Marx
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Isaac Asimov (not sure about writers, but if you nominate Heinlein/Orwell, you need Asimov)
Muhammad Ali (IMO, the greatest of the great athletes are serious inspirations)
--I went with Ali after considering Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but I could be swayed.

Speaking as an American, I'd like to see Washington and Jefferson on a list like this for their roles in creating this country, but I'm not sure how much bearing that has on an outsiders' version of worldwide historical significance.

Uh Karl Marx?  A man whose ideas have caused more death and suffering than most diseases.  I hope your kidding and even if you are it's not a very funny joke.

I advise leaving any and all sociopolitical comments out of this thread unless you would like it locked. In which case, you can try the sociopolitical comments to get it locked, but then you'd get banned. Read the Site Rules.

Far too heavily based on American Politicians, The Systems Alliance represents all of humanity,

[ScooterPie88]

Frankly I like ships named after battles in games or completely innocuous names like (Ebon Hawk). When they start naming ships after people it gets messy fast (in regard to fan arguments). Using battles in which the stakes were high and most people root for the winning side is much safer. Take Normandy for example; almost anyone in Europe or America has at least heard of it (most of the time can't tell you when it took place or who was there but still). Midway is one, Waterloo another. Those have good recognition and significance. Cities and countries are good too (though patriotism sometimes causes arguments). Cities that are large, recognizable or historically significant are always good. Cairo, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Washington, Paris. States are good too but more American centric. The traditional names are always good (Enterprise, Intrepid). As for class names the system for planes works well (animals, natural phenomena IE spirit, thunderbolt, hurricane, lightening). Naming sea ships on Earth is fine because you only usually have to pick from one country and no one in said country is usually going to argue over it. When you get to space with international crews the rules change some.

Lol, reminds me of the opening to Enterprise where it shows a British ship crossing the oceans, the Wrights making the first powered flight, a US Space Shuttle Enterprise, US test pilots flying an experimental aircraft from the Cold War, some underwater craft, some American Astronauts, the moon lander...

Nothing Russian featured at all, not Gagaran, not even Tsiolkovsky, the father of all rocketry.



Like, when people look back on rocketry, the space shuttles will be remembered for exploding a lot and being a horrible, bloated designed-by-committee spacecraft, but that deserves several shots in the montage, while the first man in space and Sputnik-1 aren't worth a mention.
