Ship Names

Does anybody have a list of some good ship names to use?
Not class names, but individual ship names.

Try searching for ship names. There are a lot for WWII ships. Like the Nimtz, YorkTown....

Jane's Warship Recognition Guide is a great source for names. Ships are broken into classes with complete shiplists for each class. Every countries naval forces are included. The 1999 one is available at Amazon.com for around 18 bucks. An excellent source for shipnames.

Didn't somebody here once say they had a list?

All I want is a text file full of name ideas for my ships, since I'm always either racking my brains for them, or just leaving the number names.

I have four such files dealing with ship names from the Second World War. One each for carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers. I'll post them in the Mod section.

Check out the Downloads section at my site. I believe its in the Data section. I have a file with a ton of ship names in it. I think its in Word 97, if thats a problem, I can copy it to word, and repost it for download.

Did you know that you've got a little problem with linking to Angelfire site?
It's easy to get around, but they have that little page saying not link to files on there

Thanks guys!

No, I did not know there was a problem. Every Time I click the link, they all work. Please tell me more about the problem.

Hmm, I'm not getting it anymore, but I hit the page you will see if you click the link above and try to download.

"Angelfire does not allow direct linking from offsite, blah blah blah"

It must have just been some wierd thing with my browser not updating the Last page viewed, or something.

Thanks, I will fix the problem.

Update: Well, I checked the file path, and verified that it can be downloaded from my site. I apologize if indeed it was Anglefire that caused the problem. Man, its so hard to find a good hosting site anymore.

(No offense Anglefire, J/K)

Anywho, I have updated the UCP Romulan and Klingon Race files with God Emperors AI files, and have also up loaded some of Daynarrs mods and data information in addition to other files and races.
