<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Beer and the proper naming and launching of an Iron Dwarf fleet."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Beer and the proper naming and launching of an Iron Dwarf fleet.
Ships can't go out to sea without a name, and ships can't have a proper christening ceremony without a proper christening fluid. Which leads me back to beer.

Going to name all destroyers, cruisers, and battleships after beers or breweries. The submarine fleet being a different fleet from the surface fleet will all end up being named after a scotch.

The names need to not only be a good drink, but it needs to work as a name for a dwarf ship.

A few names I have already picked out as good examples are HMS Arrogant Bastard, HMS Firestone Walker, and HMS New Castle.

Once again help is needed, so feel free to contribute with your favorite beers with the following exceptions. Every ship's head is already named after Budweiser, Miller, and Coors so any mention of American pisswater will be ignored. If anybody mentions the words light, ultra, or lite they will be shunned. If anybody mentions the word lime or advocates throwing a lime into pisswater to make it "palatable" their name will forever be inscribed into the great book of grudges.

The fleet currently consists of
1 unpainted flagship
3 battleships 2/3 painted
8 cruisers 6/8 painted
2 unpainted destroyers
12 frigates 3/12 painted
4 painted submarines

The surface fleet is painted in the old WW1/WW2 razzle dazzle camouflage, which was used to obscure the ships heading/angle on the bow rather than attempt to hide the ship's location.
