The actual UN casualty list for the last 50 years isn't that high at
1,551
and that includes non military personal too.  Perhaps ship names could
be
successfully completed missions?

UNSC Congo? UNSC Liberia? UNSC El Salvador?  Theres a list of them at
the
UN site 

http://www.un.org

The names may be a little uninspiring but then the UN never really has
any
victories only the leftovers of other peoples mess.
