Ships Nicknames
This came up in another forum (by me) and thought I'd give it one of it's own!
Ships nicknames - some pretty random ones out there - who the hell makes them up!?
Some are pretty obvious (Lusty, Ice Cream Frigate etc etc) but all those ships that are 'crazy', 'fighting' and 'mighty' etc. Who decides whether you qaulify!?
What are the worst ones you've heard? Any better suggestions than the ones they've got already?

Even radar was unheard of when I first went into the service. Then suddenly, they started putting bedsprings up on the tops of ships.
