I think somebody replied 'HMS Beaver' or something like that, earlier

Actually, this brings to mind a Star Trek book, "The Great Starship
Race",
where at one point a discussion (much like this one) erupts over ship 
names; at which point one character (McCoy) mentions something about the
SS ButterCookie.

Ahhh, never mind.  (8-)

Actually, in an attempt to bring this back toward FT (8-); has anybody
thought of, or come up with rules to do starship racing using FT rules? 

Formula One with Rockets.  Gah.  (8-)
