To be fair, the first space shuttle was named Enterprise, in tribute to Star Trek.[X] UES Brazilia

Something about naming a Star Trek ship "Thunderchild" strikes me as really weird and off. Like naming it "Millenium Falcon" or "Galactica".
Sure it is something Starfleet would do, but I feel there is a pretty big gulf in just a normal literary reference, and making one while in a real genocidal war of survival.Not that odd, when you consider it a literature refrence to classic sci-fi, something the starfleet absolutely would do.
In other words, going ham on the torpedoes was well rewarded, reinforcing our questionable tactical spending habits.If I'm reading it correctly. We dropped from an expected 15 down to 14.2. No one likes a drop, but it's not that severe. A 5.4 percent drop.
On the other hand the photonic torpedoes doing better than average bumped our alpha strike capability, especially with 4 full launchers up front too. The icing on the cake is the 4 engine maneuverability making possible to keep targets front and center.
Typo.
Well, it is a literary refrence to resistance against all odds in a genocidal war of survival against aliens. So as far as I say, it checks out.Sure it is something Starfleet would do, but I feel there is a pretty big gulf in just a normal literary reference, and making one while in a real genocidal war of survival.
Ah, the Warspite. I would've preferred 'UES Texas', named after the WW2 Battleship of the same name that flooded a portion of its hull to get a few degrees more of firing arc to support troops in Normandy. You know, to harken back to when humanity was badass. I think I'll take any future BB-class ships we design later being named the Texas.
I'd honestly love a class of ships being named after various references. Like, seriously, just design a Corvette or Destroyer and have each of them be named after random memes or references. It's suitably human.Of course, one can't rule out naming a ship of the class that. Whatever name wins, I'm dead set on writing a 'UES Thunderchild' omake when I have the time to brain it out.
