Potential Culture (or Culture-ish) ship names:

• ROU Sharp Difference of Opinion
• ROU Excessive Force
• ROU Necessary Violence
• ROU I Don't Recall Asking Your Opinion
• GCU Smash & Grab Artist
• GSV That Isn't Exactly What I Said
• GSV Inevitable What, Again?
• GSV For Unusually Large Values Of One
• VFP See That?  That's Dust.

For the non-Culture-literate:  ROU = Rapid Offensive Unit, GCU = General Contact Unit, GSV = General Systems Vehicle, VFP = Very Fast Picket.

In the late seventies, someone asked Richard Stallman what the biggest problem the computer sciences would face moving forward. Without hesitation he answered, "There are only seventeen thousand three letter acronyms."
