Okay y'all!

What're your favorite spaceship names (that aren't from Ian Banks)?

@starkatt am I allowed to use names from my own projects

Because if so

Spinward By Candlelight
Guess Who Forgot To Read The Instructions? (aka Guess Who...?)
A Simple Way To Go Faster Than Light That Does Not Work
I Blame The Bees
Allergic To Concrete
I’m Sorry For The Black Rose

@starkatt Thank you! They are, unsurprisingly, influenced by Banks.

There is also one starship in this story with the placeholder name of "Heart Of Gold", which I am definitely not allowed to replace with "Go Stick Your Head In A Pig".
