Quoted:

Love the ship. Hate the name.

For ship names, it's hard to beat the names the hard drinkin' and gamblin' Jeraptha in Craig Alanson's Columbus Day universe give their ships. To wit:

"We Avoid Temptation But It Keeps Finding Us" - Tramp Freighter/transport

Light Cruisers: ""Sucker Punch", "Never Tell Me The Odds"

Heavy Cruiser: "Come Over Here and Say That Again"

Fast Battleships: "How’d That Work Out For You?", "You Should See The Last Guy Who Tried That Shit", "I am Aching To Give Somebody A Beat-Down And Today Is YOUR Lucky Day"

Stealth Ships of various classes from the Ethics and Compliance (LOL) Office (their FBI, CIA, DOJ and SEC in one agency): "I'm As Shocked As You Are", "It Was Like That When We Got Here", "We Were Never Here", "Rock-Solid And Suspiciously Convenient Alibi", "Time Off For Bad Behavior"

Suspiciously convenient alibi.

Good name for a stealth warship, if a little long.

One of the things that stands out to me about The Expanse is the ship names there. Arboghast? The Weeping Somnabulist?

Nerds!!!

I’m a huge fan of the VT-49 Decimator.

The Arcadia, Captain Harlock’s dark matter fueled, self-repairing ship.
