	Of Names of Ships
		Formerly submarines were generally named for various denizens of the sea (Nautilus, Dolphin) or were merely numbered, but with the advent of the nuclear submarine and in view of the strategic role of the ballistic missile submarine, it was decided to give more dignified names to them.
		Carriers are generally named for famous persons or ships, while battleships are named for planets (a fairly reasonable carryover from the practice of naming them for states, since in a federal space civilization the planet is the natural unit of federation), crusiers are named for cities and orbital installations, while destroyers are named for people.
		Landing frigates are named for famous service personnel in all branches of service of all the planets of the federation, while electronics frigates (which do much the same job as an AWACS plane) are named for famous battles.
