How about naming the classes, or individual ships, after certain Suras 
(sp?) from the Koran? I'm sure that there are passages that would make
for 
appropriately martial/bombastic/subtle warship names. Who says it has to
be 
one word, why not a phrase? Those who study their holy text would know
the 
implications/importance of each name.
