Without any good references on what the Byzantines named their ships,
I've gone for predominately Saints (the 12 Fleet Carriers are named
after the 12 Apostles, for instance).  Emperors, Generals, and Cities
make up the smaller ships.  I havn't named my System Defense Boats
(sublight) yet, but I'm leaning towards "Night-blooming Cerebus"
