RE: UN Ship Nomenclature

If I go as small as caves & swamps (Pripet Marsh notwithstanding), I
could 
probably name every ship the UNSC could ever launch after geographical 
features in Indiana alone.  Atmittedly, that'd make for a boring fleet 
(Cornfield 0117, please tighten up formation).	And I didn't want to
make 
up a bunch of Sec-Gens - and the UN probably wouldn't supply me with a
KIA 
list (Could we start with Korea and that 'Sorry About Your Rangers'
bit?). 
 I'll go back to the atlas and see if anything comes to mind.

Brit NAC Marines Officer (you know, the really pommy(sp?) 'aristo'
type):
	'Do you not know who King is?'
Ami NAC Marines Lance Cpl (you know, the insolent 'please-transport-me' 
type)
	'_What_ king? Where?'

Deserts, Caverns/Caves, Swamps, Small Hills?

Maybe former Secretary-Generals, or how about people KIA during "Peace
Keeping" missions?  Should be a real long list if things keep going the
way they are.

>BTW, who's the reigning NAC monarch in 2185?

Isn't it a Chuck the Umpteenth?
