    Not really a space ship but it was the battleship that fought the Martians in War of the Worlds. The Thunderchild. It goes out guns blazing and then kamikaze rams a Martian craft as a final "fuck you, from Earth" to protect fleeing civilians.

    Would be a cool name for a spaceship. For names from science fiction I've always been partial to the Vasudan aliens from Freespace. Rather than translate the names of their ships they examined human history and decided they were fond of the ancient Egyptians and chose Egyptian names so their Terran allies could refer to their ships with human words (solidarity wins again). Gotta go with the legendary GVD Psamtik for another great name.
