Re: UNSC Ship Names

Thanks to all those that have replied - I didn't realise that some of
the
class names were still undefined. I'll have to use some artistic licence
/
imagination to fill in the missing classes - in particular I need a name
for a
battlecruiser and some frigates. For the battlecruiser I'll probably use
one
of the battleship moon names - after all, there are sixty-plus moons in
the
Solar System so that should be enough to go around. As for the frigates,
I'm
not sure ... I might just give them Pennant numbers (FF-001) and leave
it at
that.

Thanks all

Tony
