Its a pity this thread is limited to movie/game ships.� If it were open to any media, Iain M Banks' culture ships would walk it!� How about these apples?

My vote goes to 'Prometheus'. I love the name especially when used as a call-sign by the characters in the movie.

I also agree with Matrix's Nebuchadnezzar, after all it sort off fit's the threads definition and by that virtue, may I also suggest Watchmen's Archie ?

Sharkboy and Spalds get in there first. Even if they're from books (some of the finest books of any genre written) they deserve a mention. And so I give you;

LSV Engendering a sense of Euphoria

GSV but will I still respect you in the morning

GCU We come in peace, shoot to kill

GSV Bag of pointy things

GSV My other degree is a good one

GCU Send in the Clowns
