The colony/exploration ship from Procyon’s Promise. Or at least that’s the Pathfinder that popped into my head.
I’ll be impressed if anybody gets this one from memory (no fair Googling!)—

Easy; that’s the iceship from Alan Dean Foster’s Tran-ky-ky novels.

Heh. You didn’t mention Mission to Moulokin or The Deluge Drivers; it’s a trilogy.
See my previous comment that we have to get together for a beer sometime!
silenus is really good at this, bro — he kicked much butt in the last “Name That” games I posted last year. 
For a new challenge, try Name That Rank!

I could be wrong…the giantish ship of Saltheart Foamfollower in The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series…?
[/QUOTE]
I knew it was a name I’d read many times. You got it and it wasn’t my list, I just know you’re right.
The USS Flagg was from GI Joe
Yikes. I said Martha Briggs. It should be Matilda Briggs.

Jungfrau, and Rachael

Close, but the wrong Covenant series - it’s actually the ship of the Giants of the Search in the Second Chronicles, and on which Covenant, Linden Avery, Vain and eventually Findail sail (with the Giants) in search of the One Tree.

I thought the USS Abraham Lincoln was Pinkerton’s ship in the opera “Madama Butterfly.”
And the Busted Flush was the boat Travis McGee lived on in John D. MacDonald’s stories.
[/QUOTE]
IIRC, the “Busted Flush” was also the name of a B-29 in the book “The Jesus Factor”.
I can’t think of anything except the “Raging Queen”.

Not the one I was thinking of.
Nobody’s gotten one on mine yet:

Yet someone got the Sea Tiger. Go figure. Oh, and kiss my foot, Frank. (That’s a clue, not a commentary about a Mod.)

I’m sure I know the Pathfinder but I just can’t think of it 
It will come to me …
Meanwhile how two more: the Dolly and the Muddlin’ Through. Two very different vessels!
The Muddlin’ Through is from Day of Burning - Poul Anderson
These haven’t been ID’d yet, I think, so I will:
Filthy Whore - from the very bad Chris Elliot comedy, Cabin Boy
USS Nathan James - nuclear-powered destroyer that survives WWIII in William Brinkley’s excellent The Last Ship
USS Kearsarge - due to rendezvous with the Enterprise near the Vodrey Nebula in TNG “Firstborn”
USS Eisenhower - Carrier destroyed by the Chigs in Space: Above and Beyond
Starship Sun Yat-sen - Chinese warship referred to on that show.
Now how about:
USS Cunningham
Sutherland (either or both of two fictional options)
USS Truman (the fictional one)
