	Ship naming and launching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ship launchings in the Ottoman Empire were accompanied by prayers to Allah, the sacrifice of sheep, and appropriate feasting.
		French ship launchings and christenings in the 18th and early 19th centuries were accompanied by unique rites closely resembling marriage and baptismal ceremonies.
		The "side launch," whereby the ship enters the water broadside, came into 19th-century use on inland waters, rivers, and lakes, and was given major impetus by the World War II building program.

	Ship commissioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ship naming and launching are the inseparable elements which endow a ship hull with her identity.
		When a captain of this period in our history determined that his new ship was ready to take to sea, he mustered the crew on deck, read his orders, broke the national ensign and distinctive commissioning pennant, caused the watch to be set, and the first entry to be made in the log.
		Regardless of the type of ship, the brief but impressive commissioning ceremony completes the cycle from christening and launching to full status as a warship of her nation.

	Baptism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		One ecumenical statement prepared by representatives across a spectrum of Christians, Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestants traditions of Christianity, attempts to express a common understanding of baptism, as it is derived from the New Testament.
		Baptist groups derive their name either from the restrictions that they traditionally place on the mode and subjects of the ordinance of baptism or from a shortening of the term Anabaptist which means to rebaptize.
		As stated in Acts 2:38, baptism is performed in the name of "The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit".

	Ship naming and launching
		"In the name of the United States I christen thee," proclaims the sponsor while she shatters the ceremonial bottle of champagne against the gleaming bow of a new ship towering above her.
		As if the sponsor's very words have injected a spark of life, the ship begins to move slowly from the security of the building way to the water environment where she will play her destined role for the defense of the United States.
		When a woman accepts the Secretary of the Navy's invitation to sponsor a new ship, she has agreed to stand as the central figure in an event with a heritage reaching backward into the dim recesses of recorded history.

	BAPTISM FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		At the end of his recorded ministry, Jesus charged the Apostles to baptize "in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit" in the Great_Commission (Matthew 28:19), which has become the common formula for baptizing.
		The Apostles are recorded baptizing only in the name of Jesus in the Book_of_Acts (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5) - a fact which figures prominently among groups who reject the trinitarian_formula.
		Both the Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches practice a triple baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity.

		In those cases, the known ship's name is provisionally used to label the entire class, in lieu of the name of the original lead vessel.
		Labelling of this ship as a “cruiser“ is an obvious misnomer since it is distinctly inferior to a mere destroyer in firepower and size; this “cruiser” label is probably best interpreted in terms of a civilian cruiser (a liner or passenger ship of some kind).
		The ship was commanded by Wedge Antilles' childhood nemesis Captain Loka Hask, a former pirate responsible for the manslaughter of Antilles' parents.

	USSLosAngelesCommissioning
		The Commissioning Ceremony signifies the acceptance for service and entry of a ship into the active fleet of the United States Navy. At the moment of breaking the commissioning pennant, LOS ANGELES (SSN-688) became, as any proud ship of the line, USS LOS ANGELES (SSN-688).
		The commissioning pennant has for centuries been the symbol of the man-of-war. Today, as the distinctive mark of a ship in commission, it is flown, except when displaced by the personal flag of an admiral or commodore embarked aboard the ship.
		The modern commissioning ceremony is devoid of the ancient pagan rituals which were instituted to ward off evil spirits and seafaring denizens. We, as a professional Navy, have outgrown these primitive superstitions.

		It goes further, naming Islamofascists as the enemy, briefly recounting their attacks against America over the years, and even listing attacks that have been thwarted in America -- all of which make Moore's claim that "there is no terrorist threat" that much more ridiculous (as if the 9/11 attacks weren't enough to do so).
		Instead, Annan has to this day refused even to disclose to the public such basic details as the names of Saddam's contractors or the terms of their deals.
