Star Wars, Star Trek and others....

The Space Shuttle Enterprise was called that due to people wanting it renamed in honor of Star Trek and had nothing to do with what it meant.

I had no idea it was originally going to be called the Yorktown, but I'm glad they ended up naming another Star Ship that, even though it was destroyed.

I don't think I've ever heard a German named ship. American, Russian, British and Japanese, but don't recall a German one.

Couldn't resist!

Anyway:
NCC-14232 Berlin, Excelsior class

NCC-1856 Emden, German city and WWI German cruiser

There's several more...

By the way, did you know that the NCC-62158 Akagi (Rigel class) was named after the IJN carrier?

Didn't notice that....
Didn't know either, that Enterprise was originally called Yorktown, until that I watched a two hour long program about Star Trek, can never be enough or too many Yorktowns...

I did not. I wonder why there never was a Bismark or Scharnhost?

There are from the entire star trek universe...movies, books, TV series...the whole nine yards

 

[GrauGeist]

Well, that's about all I could find that were WWII related.

An interesting note here: The American Revolutionary names given the Federation starships were in direct proportion to the U.S. carriers that served in the Pacific.
