I've been thinking, there are just too many generic ships named things like "Liberty Gunboat" and "Rheinland Gunboat". So, I decided that maybe I should try to think of some names for them. Such ships' shapes don't give too many ideas, so I decided to base my names on the tradition that was used for their snubs.

Bounty Hunter Bomber: Stingray (Fits tradition of deadly waterdwellers, and similar to Manta, also fits role) - Community

Gunboats:

Liberty Rogue Gunboat: Cerberus (Two-headed dog from greek mythology, fits with the dog/wolf names as bigger and scarier than their fighters) Yes I know there are weapons named Cerberus. There are CLAYMORE codenames, and a Claymore gunboat, too.

Rheinland Gunboat: Revenant (Fits into the tradition of rheinland ghost names)

Liberty Gunboat: Sentinel (Fits into the tradition of liberty defender names)

Kusari Gunboat: Wyvern (Fits into the tradition of kusari ships being mythical flying creatures)

Bretonian Gunboat: Dragoon (Fits into the tradition of Bretonian ships being horse riders and specialized troops)

Lane Hacker Gunboat: Spatha (Fits into the tradition of lane hacker ships being named after sharp melee weapons)

Capital Ships:

Bretonian Destroyer: Onager (Not a medieval horseman anymore, but a medieval siege weapon designed for destroying huge targets, I believe it's fitting)

Kusari Destroyer: Hatchet (I believe Tomahawk would be more fitting, but Hatchet is already being used by the community, so I suppose Hatchet would be a great name for it) - Community

Made by the connection of Vanilla names

Liberty Carrier: Providence

Rheinland Battleship: Bismarck

Bretonia Battleship: Dunkirk

Liberty Dreadnaught: Overlord

I will try to think of names for more ships in the future. If anyone thinks of better names for ships above, or can think of names for other unnamed ships, please post your ideas below. Maybe the developers will actually use these names.

Needed:

Rheinland Cruiser

Kusari Battleship

Some ships I did not put on the list, as they are the only un-named ones including their particular class in their name, and are unique enough:

Liberty Siege Cruiser - If someone says "Siege Cruiser" or LSC, they're clearly talking about this. The other "siege cruiser" already has a name.
Liberty Assault Battlecruiser - If someone says "LABC" or "Assault Battlecruiser", they're clearly talking about this. There is no other "Assault Battlecruiser"

If anyone finds a name for those ships, I'll consider them, but they're not the priority, as their classes are unique already.
