Name that fictional ship!

Another one:

The Going Under The Water Safely Device

Ha! I just re-read Jingo. :smiley:

:stuck_out_tongue:

From the Ringworld books.

HMS Atropos is specifically from Hornblower and the Atropos. :slight_smile:

Is C-57D from Forbidden Planet?

Time for hints:

Fin of God
Immer Essen (hint: Steve Martin)
Arabella
USNC Iroquois
Guinevere One
Tarantula (hint: operetta)
Splendor Hyaline (hint: seven-book series)
The Slippery Pig (hint: video game)
R-XM (hint: was on MST3K)
Icarus (hint: the Statue of Liberty)
Boise
USS Montana (hint: the Reds don’t have anything that fast)
The Moldy Crow (hint: video game)
The Betty (hint: Michael Wincott and Ron Perlman)
USS Orlando (hint: it’s a submarine)
Valley Forge (hint: Freeman Lowell)
Asgard
USS Kiwi
CosmoStrator (hint: was on MST3K)
HMS Indomitable (hint: the ship is sometimes called the Bellipotent because its editor was asleep at the switch)
Bosda’s picks:
Hispaniola

USS Orlando - Up Periscope!

USS Kiwi - Wackiest Ship In The Army

Icarus - Planet of the Apes

Valley Forge - Silent Running

There are still my additions as well:

Vrolijkheid

Sea Tiger

Tarantula----Spacecraft, Proxima Military TTA Handbook Spacecraft 200-2100
The Betty----Spacecraft, “Pirate Ship” Alien Resurrection
Hispaniola----Sailing Ship, Treasure Island

:smack: Planet of the Apes! (Starship, of course.)

USS Montana----Submarine, The Abyss
Valley Forge----Spacecraft, Silent Running

The ship that accidentally sailed too close to an island, and whose passengers were being killed off in Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.

Looking back, I see a hint. I didn’t need it.

Valley Forge is also one of the ships in the book Straship Troopers, along with the already identified Rodger Young.

Nitpick: Minnow was a private vessel, not a U.S. Navy asset, so her designation was “SS,” not “USS.”

My contributions:

Castle Wulfenbach
Not For Hire
Sleuth

It’s the airship from Girl Genius. Not just a name, either…it’s really a flying castle.

Which is why I wasn’t sure whether to italicize it.

For your further trivia pleasure, check out Name That Fictional Fiction. :wink:

Not For Hire - The Fabulous Riverboat

Arabella - Captain Peter Blood’s ship.

Cosmostrator - First Spaceship on Venus (1962)

RX-M is from Rocketship X-M

My contribution is the Karnak

*Spindrift *is cheating. It wasn’t a starship, just a sub-orbital airliner.
