What's yours?
Captain Captain is a superstitious soul; he named his ship for a God. One the Masters hate, of course. The dreadnought Osiris is the fist of the Navy, and the Empress!

Pretty good name for a submarine that forces you to resurface every few minutes.

Mathieu zails the zee in Psmith's Psuperior Psubmersible. Because after adding a silent P to the beginning of his surname, why not go the whole nine yards?

Mr Magnificent named his merchant freighter "MORNING STAR" for it brings the glorious and civilising light of the Reduced Empire into the savage unmapped darkness of the Underzee.

Captain MacNair named his frigate The Inescapable Conclusion, because with 103 Iron everything is pretty one sided

Viola Bandersnatch, former street urchin, named her ship The Sunshine. It was a little jab at some of the people who told her that she'd own her very own ship the day she saw the Sun (i.e. never). And thanks to The Sunshine, she's also seen the Surface. She's recently purchased a new ship and, in keeping with her theme, named it The Sunrise.

My current captain, Eladamri Deleveaux has a rather quirky taste in naming ships and named his current ship the Papillon Poignard--quite literally Butterfly Dagger. It's a Merchant Steamer, but he was probably several drops the wrong side of a barrel of Prisoner's Honey when he named it.

All the world's problems can be solved by poetry. And violence. Poetry and violence. Who said, violence wasn't a solution? Actually it solves all the problems, that couldn't be solved by poetry.

Captain Ashton Delacourt II currently commands the Inanna, after the rather unfortunate fate of Captain Ashton Delacourt I and the Ineluctable. (Sir Ashton Delacourt, who started this whole mess, was of course asking for it by naming his ship the Inadvisable.)
Previous ships names have included the Golden Bough, the Bloody Hell!, the Circe, the Longshanks, the Fangs of Winter, the Indigo and the She's one of ours, sir! (I was delighted to discover that last is, in fact, within the character limit.)

My character commands the "Brazen Hussy", a corvette. In the past I've liked the "Watchful and Wary" a lot, and I have a soft spot for the name "Audacious" as well.

The Ferryman, as befits my crew's usual destination. Her captain, The Turbulent Priest, has a very high turnover rate, even when not having to use the crew as rations. Or fuel.

As I have often boasted, I am the proud captain of Mr Eaten's Revenge.
...
...
...however, outside of spoiler-safe havens, I have espoused its actual name, which I will dare to utter here:
[spoiler] The ship's real name is actually Mr Candle's Revenge.

It used to just be The Horizon, but eventually, once all my captains ended up going to the same place, it became the Final Horizon.

Kyron The Wise, Correspondent, and thus always a wee bit insane. Also now on the Seeking Road, I do not desire Mr. Eaten's name, but pursue the identity of another name. (Main Account):

You can argue with me, and you might even defeat my points. But somewhere along the way I may use philosophy to make you question existence. Who's the real winner?

My next ship will be called the UZZ Enterprise, with Captain Jam-Luc Lickerad at the helm.
Why?
You know why. Well, okay you don't. And to be honest, neither do I.
