Whoo boy...

Fayt and I are watching Babylon 5. Specifically the Season 2 episode "A Distant Star".

It just hit me what a *terrible* name for a deep exploration ship "Cortez" is.

The US Navy has a ship named "The Sullivans" (DDG-68). This is in memory of five brothers who died when the USS Juneau was sunk by a Japanese sub. Think about that one for a minute.
