re: #386 Higgs Boson’s Mate

As an ex-USN sailor I wouldn’t want a ship named after me. Ships are known by the nicknames they earn and some of them aren’t flattering.

What was the name of that movie where James Whitmore was captain of the USS Bustard?

“Ships of [whatever this class was] are named after birds. This ship was named after the largest land bird on the continent of Europe. I will tolerate no jokes, puns, or typographical errors about the name of this ship!”
