No doubt about it, we all play STO because we love sailing the great black abyss in our beloved ships. Every ship has a story - and it all starts with the name. So, what did you name your ship, and why did you choose that name?
I have a few that I'll share -
IKS Sabure Class - B'rel Bird of Brey Specced to Torpedo Boat with Enhanced Battle Cloak. I freaking LOVE this ship - every time I play I keep coming back to it time and time again. I named it the IKS Sabure because it fits perfectly with the RP role of my character's House, Sabure. It's fast, sleek, deadly, and can destroy before the enemy knows what hit them. Just what the House trains for.
IKS Song of War Class - Fleet Tor'kaht Retrofit Battlecruiser Specced to Heavy Damage Cannon Cruiser with Borg Kinetic Cutting Beam and Adapted KHG gear. I only recently acquired this ship, and Im not used to larger vessels, but this bad boy flies like a dream. With 4 fore and aft weapons, it hits like a freight train on steroids as well. I named it Song of War in honor of the Klingon battle chants commonly sung by warriors as they enter a fight.
USS Jintachi Class - Chimera Heavy Destroyer Specced to heavy tactical damage with Elachi crescent cannons. Not too much to say about this ship other than I named it the Jintachi after the sword I used to use in my kendo classes as a child. The Jintachi sword is a japanese katana with a handle curving the opposite direction of the blade, allowing for greater control.

U.S.S. Shakaar Edon Sito commands a jem'hadar Dreadnought as part of a Special Project to integrate older dominion battleships into starfleet. As bajoran she wants to honor the leaders of the resistance cells who fight the cardassians to get Bajor free. U.S.S. William Wallace A Fleet Defiant class Escortship Sito used to fly.Sito had chosen this shipsname cause she likes the Story about William Wallace. She said "He could be a great bajoran" She also know, that not everything in an ancient movie Halemir showed her is true. U.S.S. Rob Roy Sistership of the U.S.S. William Wallace. It's not her ship, it's commanded by a friend but both ships often fight side by side in Kerrat System, so I want to Name it here too. Edit: U.S.S. Li Nalas this is a heavy jem'hadar escort. Sito don't use it often. Like the Shakaar Edon it is named after a bajoran Leader of the resistance. U.S.S. Gladius Sitos Jem'Hadar Attackship. It's cutting like a sharpe gladius (the latin word for sword) Catana would be good too, but I'm waiting for the bugfix for rome 2 total war, so I named this ship gladius. U.S.S. Hammersley My Odyssey class cruiser, named after the Australien patrol boat H.M.A.S. Hammersley from a tv series. U.S.S. Skyranger Sitos armitage class Escort. She used to fly it before she joined the dominion Programm. It's named after the first Transportplane from X-COM enemy unknown. U.S.S. Raptor Sito's older Defiant class ship. It fights in Kerrat System a while, using klingon tactics involving its cloaking device. Sadly destroyed in battle. Sito commissiond her fleet Defiant U.S.S. William Wallace then together with U.S.S. Rob Roy U.S.S. Avenger Sitos first Akira class escort. Named after a new fighterjet you can use in X_COM enemy unknown.

We'll start with T'set's ships
USS Isami Class - Armitage Heavy Escort Carrier The Isami is named after the leader of the Shinsengumi during the Meiji Revolution in Japan's history. I chose to use the Shinsengumi because I am interested in Japanese history and the Shogunate nor the Emperor were bad people, they just had different views on how to take Japan.

Interesting, out of all your ships I always wondered what the Isami's origin was
