SS Pulitzer Laureate, because then I will always be a Pulitzer Laureate no matter my post count...that's right I'm not giving it up without kicking and screaming I rather like it. I've grown attached to it.
I'd love a pirate ship. If we're going for more futuristic it could be a pirate themed airship...I think I'd call it the Dreamsinger, or maybe the Ardent Dawn

the HMS STFU. specializes in communications disruption and uses alot of EMP weapons.
the SS Colonoscopy. specializes in sneak attacks which more often than not, end in nuclear strikes.

It's a ship owned by an organization who is not part of any nation's government. It orbits the earth, performing jobs for whoever pays the most. Capable of reconnaissance, and keeps a large supply of various missiles, manufactured either in the ship or by the current employers. Very few people on the ship (like, two) are allowed access to the media from earth, and those same people are the only ones allowed to communicate with those on earth. This is done to minimize the chance of rebellion. The crew is made up of people who have been tested to make sure that they will not question their actions. The crew is split as equally as possible between men and women, and relationships are encouraged, as people who like each other work well together. Everything involving relationships is allowed, also, divorces are gone through easily and people suffering from temporary emotional issues will be allowed not to work; one of the back ups (who's training consists of a simulation of everything the main worker has done) ca take over. Children are born on the ship, and are raised with jobs on the ship specifically in mind. The top people's (allowed access to media/communication) children are raised with top positions in mind. There is an abundance of food and drink, but alcohol and other substances affecting motor skills are strictly forbidden. Everyone is kept happy and ignorant, and only those in top-shape are allowed to perform real jobs. The system promotes hard work by rewarding outstanding successes with whatever that person likes, be it food, women, etc. to promote healthy competition and keep people working as well as possible.
Yeah. That's my ship, and it is pwn.

Covenant Super Star Destroyer
CRA Angelfire Crusader
Armament

25 Plasma Bolter Deck Guns
10 Projector Arrays
30 Helix Cannons
1 "Crucible" Class Antimatter Weapon
Built as Flagship for the Covenant Royal Armada circa 3501 for the Ori-Covenant War. Crew is over 2,000 individuals. Captain is the Lord Commander Phantom.
FTL Drive
Asgard-Covenant Slipstream Hyperdrive
Using Ancient and Covenant technology, the ship is the most advanced ship in the Imperial Fleet. This ship is my design, silver colored star destroyer bristling with weapons of all kinds.

Weird and awesome cross-over. Just one question, which empire?Lord_Ascendant said:
Another ship: Necromorph, a large and stealthy troopship (large for a stealthy ship). Ironically, it later becomes a derilect when everyone on board was infected by a zombie virus. I of course was not on board at the time.
Some sweet 8 man space going vessle with 4 cannon posts.
I would call it "Sunstrider".
EDIT:
No, actually I would just be a "lone" SC [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Circumstances]-GSV [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Systems_Vehicle#General_Systems_Vehicle] like the "Sleeper Service" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_Service] from Iain M. Banks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iain_M._Banks] culture [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture] book Excession [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excession].
That was a lot of links...
Anyway my name would be either "I Say Hello, You Say Goodbye", "Who Called For Orbitstrike?" or "Name Unrelated, But Badass".
There are a lot of other weird names among the ships in The Culture: "Anticipation Of A New Lovers Arrival, The", "Limiting Factor", "Irregular Apocalypse", "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "Unfortunate Conflict Of Evidence", "Just Testing", "It's Character Forming" and so on.

Hiroshima
The first ship belonging to the Manhattan class of starship.
12 Hybrid class turrets. Fires large plasma-shelled projectiles at a rate 30 p/sec
100 Wasp class turrets. Small auto-turrets designed to down small ships such as fighters. Can be interchanged to fire projectile, plasma, or hybrid rounds.
6 Avalon nodes. Generates an EMP field around the ship that disables all ships within 5000 km. This range is lessened if any of the nodes are destroyed. Requires at least teo nodes funtcional to operate.
30 Mace class fighters. Designed to take out enemy fighters and dropships.
10 Armageddon class bombers. Designed to take out critical systems on an enemy ship.
10 repair drones
and the crowning achievment...
1 Tzar Bomb class Neutrino beam. This new weapon uses neutrinos collected from the ship's solar panels and focuses them into a honed beam of destruction capable of slicing though a capitol ship like a hot knife through butter. It can even render a planet lifeless. Major flaw:It takes a long time to collect the amount of neutrinos nessecary to make the beam useful, taking several hours, even a day, to collect enough neutrinos for a highly destructive ten-second burst.
Propulsion:At full speed, it goes at approx. 250,000 km/sec. However, it can only go full speed for about twenty minutes. The highest speed it can go constantly, however, is about 200,000 km/sec. This speed is lessened when weapons are active, as power is diverted from engines to weapons systems. The Hiroshima, like all other ships, travels to other systems via man-made wormholes between these systems.
