For PBeM's I follow the Excession naming template. I loved the ship
names in
that Frank Exchange of Views, Problem Child, and Kiss the Blade. among
others are excellent warhip names. This naming scheme has also found its
way
into my New Israel fleet, primarily as Fighter squadron names and
freighter
names - the bulk of NI is named after Persons and Places of Old Israel,
with
some Hebrew fighting nouns and verbs thrown in.
