Wow, wouldn't it have been super awkward if we had named the latest Excelsior after her...

She can later get the Nash k'Sharren. While Nash commands the Maryam.

Orion syndicate activites and either Federation counter-intel status or measures taken to safely and secretly research the cardassian ship.
Would anyone consider naming the next Excelsior the Kirk? It's not a "human" ship name... he's a hero of the Federation.

Honestly, naming ships after people doesn't seem to be a Federation tradition...
One way or another, not too long after the Bajoran Occupation begins (if it ever does), we are probably going to have to make some decisions. Those decisions will likely result in a profound impact upon the fate of the Bajoran people, and on whether or not we subsequently wind up at war with the Cardassian Union.
Those would be too much militarization even for our bloodthirsty types. Also, Gunguns are in danger of being mistaken for a sort of amphibious Pakled.
Suffice to say that...

It was so not her fault that an entirely new class of ships was in the works right at the moment that she was presumed dead by the grudge-bearing nation whose planet she'd saved.

I kind of want to see Maryam to send 'Sorry for making you think I was dead,' presents out as apologies.
Something like:
TO DO
Debriefing
Medical Exam
Second Debriefing
Third Debriefing with Telepath Oversight
Leave on Betazed (with Counseling)
-Schedule time for orbital skydive
--Schedule time to explain orbital skydiving
Send apology packages to friends, coworkers, family, etc.
-And apparently the Romulans?
--Ok?
---Maybe send a bottle of Kanar?
----And a couple of bottle of Apiatan mead to apologize for the Kanar.

USS John F. Kennedy USS John Muir USS Neil Armstrong USS Farouk El-Baz USS Farragut (NCC-60597) USS Thomas Paine USS Albert Einstein USS Sherlock Holmes Yeah the Federation totally doesn't have a tradition of naming ships after people.

And that is out of how many Federation ships, Alias? I don't know how many ships have been named in canon but it's got to be several hundred, maybe a thousand. There's a difference between "not a tradition" and "forbidden," as I'm sure you know.
Naming ships after virtues or locations or the like seems far more common.

Actually roughly 188 ships.
I also didn't include all ships named after people.

All right. Never mind.
Now I'm starting to regret not having a USS Ajam; if we're going to get into that habit of naming ships for people, we should do it with style and experience all the hilarious potential negative consequences!

I don't think she owes anyone an apology for getting captured and mutilated.
EDIT: I am all for the USS James Kirk.

We can name the ships whatever we want, within reason. Who cares what's more common?

Any ship named Kirk, Pike, or April better be an Explorer.
If you are going to name them, you need the right ships.

every ship named after a person is named after an S or a T person.

But yeah, that's interesting to note. I didn't realize this until it was brought up.

We've already named at least two excelsiors - the Salnas and the Sarek - after people.
EDIT: Ajam'd.
