You can discuss renaming of a ship here, but remember two things:
1) The power that be, don't read this (newsgroup).  I won't forward it.
I'm supposed to do research, not be a PR person.

2) One of your colleagues can quietly take one of your `excellent' names
and snail mail it in (probably hundreds, since they will probably get
20,000 letters which a few hundred unique suggestions).  Perhaps, just
perhaps, they take your suggestion and get lots of credit. They's why
copyright and patent laws exist.

From the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers:

  "You trust the `reply' command with all those different mailers out there?"
  "Send mail, avoid follow-ups.  If enough, I'll summarize."

My personal favorite would be just to give it a hull number and leave it
at that.
