>SS Marine Electric
Somehow this shitty old bulk carrier ended up with the best sounding name I've seen on a non-military ship.
The SS Baychimo is pretty good too.

Old? There's a current sub called Vengeance. Most of the ships are named after places (always acceptable) but there's still Iron Duke, Dragon, Bulwark and so on.

Gay-class fast patrol boats would like few words with both of you. Maybe even several sentences.

We're ignoring Duncan right?

I like the sheer esotericism of the Hæwene Brim.

In a sense, the Herald of Free Enterprise was the most appropriately named ship ever.

That is an obscenely massive ship. Hard to believe that the Knock Nevis is bigger.

if you mean actual sailing as in sailboats and not just general maritime stuff, /out/ usually has a sailing general thread up. Otherwise there's /mg/ here.

The UK is just full of them. Big fan of the Royal Fleet Auxiliaries' names myself. The Round Table class with names like Sir Galahad, Sir Tristram, and so on. Newer ones with names like Wave Ruler, amusing for a logi ship but fitting in a way. Also thought Atlantic Conveyor was a pretty cool name, shame she ate a couple exocets.
