The ship should wear the name of a real or fictional hero. Someone who breaks his own barriers for sake of many. There are enough people in our history, no matter of what nation or colour.
My favorite by now is 'Leonidas'. (yes, from the greek epos, not 300, even if 300 is great movie)

I like the Royal Navy's way of naming ships though HMS Hero from the TV series warship always was a favourite

I am going with Superior, my home town

Currently my fleet flagship is the (modified) Cavour Class Carrier Majestic/Majestueus, a fine old name. For the most part, however, the fleet follows the old RN habit (now mostly if not completely abandoned) of naming vessels after mythological figures. Also, it is my belief that whenever possible, that ships should be named women, and my names bear these out.

If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."
