Hard to beat Evergreen's U class MV Ever Uranus. MV Bohica sums up the industry in general for the last 6 years.

(Hollywood's USS) RELUCTANT, of classic "Mr. Roberts" fame. I'm sure that you'll have thousands of brilliant hopefuls for this one, Sal. The sincere humor in those names now stumbles over all of us waiting for this escalation to go critical-mass... imminently. My non-seafaring, old E-8 mind is perplexed over why these many direct hits haven't yet resulted in un-contained, huge fires, or massive environmental disasters.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. It's more than a name.

Sal, my suggested name for a Russian ship involved in the dark fleet would be Maskirovka (МАСКИРОВКА), which literally means "masking" or "disguise". It is the Russian military doctrine for deception.
