If the title doesn't give it away, this is what will happen:

Someone will post a picture/video/other method of communication about a ship that they want to name. The rest of the community will then (civilly) discus possible names of the ship. When the owner of the ship finds a name that he/she likes, they will say so, and I will add their ship to the list of "successful ships named" (see below, empty, of course).

If those aren't a clear set of instructions, I don't know what is.

The best part is that I get to delete posts that are in the least bit off-topic.

Start naming!

What could this ship be called?

Concerning naming, there's the class name for the ship, and then the individual name for the ship itself.

I assume you're looking for class names, correct?

Both. Although originally it was a cruiser, that was with the old system.

So I'm looking for the class name, as well as the name of the ship.

Old Norse, and I like the name Vargr, which means "wolf".
Hmmmmmmmmm......... I suppose...... No, its too dangerous........ Nah.
It could be the kráka, which is "crow"
Or the Dáinn, which was a stag that lived in Yggdrasil.

I suppose I could TRY to write some Owlish for something like this. Sadly, they dont sell keyboards that are capable of writing Owlish. Im gonna have to break out Paint. Tell me words to translate, and I shall translate them as close as possible.

I require no defense. OWLS, TO ARMS!
FIRST BRIGADE, NORTH WALL
SECOND BRIGADE, EAST WALL
THIRD BRIGADE, GATEHOUSE ON THE SOUTH WALL
FOURTH BRIGADE, SOUTH WALL
FIFTH BRIGADE, WEST WALL
SNOW BRIGADE, PREPARE TO DROP THE TERRAIN HAZARDS
CANNON BRIGADE, CENTER OF THE CITY, ARM THE CROW CANNONS
LIGHTNING BRIGADE, CHARGE THE LIGHTNING CRYSTALS
FIRE BRIGADE, TO ME
ARROW BRIGADE, FLY ABOVE AND GIVE COVER TO THE SNOW BRIGADE,

DEFEND THE CITY.

I win, my owl army is over 25,000 strong, and the mystics can use shields, fire blasts, lightning crystals, and cause heavy snowfall in a localized area.

And thusly the obstruction was removed, so discussion can return to normal (on topic). Next person who posts off topic on this thread gets a one day ban.
