I read parts of it in high school English class. Many years later, I actually read the whole thing, for fun.
When you don’t have to write an essay on it the next morning, Classic Literature is actually fun to read.
As this thread seems pretty much defunct and just to be a total completist (i.e.pedant), I’ll give the answers to mine that were missed:
Green Carnation - Starship. One of the ships of the Interstellar Anarchists in M John Harrison’s The Centauri Device.
Death or Glory - Boat. From Arthur Ransome’s *Swallows and Amazons * series.
Chorazin - Sea ship. The villain’s ship in Michael Scott Rohan’s voodoo fantasy Chase the Morning
USS Jane was from GI Joe, but was not a Frigate. It was a heavily modified freighter.
Blue Fire was a Klingon Starship, from the Trek novel The Final Reflection.
Great thread while it lasted.
The *Karnak * was the paddle-steamer where Death on the Nile took place.
Here are answers to mine:
Earth’s Hope - Interplanetary ship that took Mandela and his fellow soldiers to Pluto for training in The Forever War.
Bonaventure - According to ST:TAS, the first Earth ship equipped with warp drive (later contradicted; see below).
Horizon - The ship which left behind the book on Chicago gangs on the 1920s in ST:TOS “A Piece of the Action.”
Phoenix - Zefrem Cochrane’s first warp-drive-equipped ship in the ST movie “First Contact,” and the first Nebula-class ship shown in ST:TNG.
Scorpion and Charleston - The U.S. submarines in the Nevil Shute book and first movie of On the Beach, and in the Armand Assante remake, respectively.
How about:
Alba Varden
Revenge
The Alba Varden was the South African ship that Murtaugh and Riggs trashed in Lethal Weapon 2.
I hate threads like these (and by extension all those who post in them, sorry)
When I turn up what little knowledge I have has already been taken out, worn and left back in the drawers, slightly warm and unfolded :mad:
