Right you are.
It is - Well done!
How about:
Fevre Dream
Lodestar
Lollipop
Pinafore
Fevre Dream is from George R. R. Martin’s book of the same name.
Pinafore is from Gilbert & Sullivan. I don’t think I need to specify which, do I? 
Lollipop is from the Shirley Temple movie Bright Eyes.
Right you are. There’s a science-fiction reference to Lollipop, too. Anyone recognize it?
Riker mentioned the USS Lollipop as a lie in ST:TNG, saying “It’s a good ship” 
Its been sitting unanswered for 3 pages, but the Kuan Yin was the digitized-child carrying colony ship from James Hogans’ Voyage From Yesteryear.
Exactly!
Since no one has bothered with this one yet…
from Magic: The Gathering starting with the Mirage block. I know it from the Rath Cycle.
Yes !
Geez, by this point I’d forgotten I’d even thrown that in there! Very good, gary!
:smack: I’m an idiot - the first Heinlein book I read. How could i forget.
The *Cortez * was mentioned as an Earth Alliance Explorer Class ship in B5
All I can find for the *Admiral Zheng He * is that it’s an Aryabhatta Class starship in the Trekverse, NCC-1457.
BUT, the U.S.S. POTEMKIN is also listed as NCC-1457-E
BUT, the USS Fletcher Chaise is also listed as NCC-1457-A (from some Russian or something site).
Of course, I could be completly wrong
The Angel’s Pencil
The Princess Cecile
Mother’s Bounteous Teats
Try these:
*Earth’s Hope
Masaryk
Bonaventure
Archon
Horizon
Phoenix * (two related answers possible)
Scorpion and Charleston (and, for bonus points, tell me what they have in common!)
Well, the Archon is from ST:TOS.
The Masaryk is from Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War.
I should freaking know Earth’s Hope. It sounds so familiar. :smack:
Right as to both the Archon and the Masaryk (named after the Czech statesmen, presumably): Masaryk - Wikipedia
Angel’s Pencil was from a Larry Niven short story whose title I forget. First encounter between humans and Kzinti.
Mother’s Bounteous Teats was another Kzinti ship.
Rachel and Jungfrau were whalers the Pequod encountered in Moby Dick.
Both correct. The Pencil was the human ship in “The Warriors”, and Teats was a Kzinti repair & supply ship in “The Man Who Would Be Kzin”.
Wow…good call, I’m impressed. No seriously. That stuff can’t be garnered from the movies, at least I hope not. You may have actually read Melville. Good on you!
