Recently New Sparta has opted to name most new ships using plant names which start with the same letter for example on the forthcoming unmanned Lavender 105A patrol ship. NS said this policy it to continue from now. The issue came up during a media conference with VP Operations Caratore.
He was asked about the names and replied that it was due to the number of name already used and the increasing difficulty in coming up with unique random names. Plant names also add a layer of ambiguity and security.
Other new ship classes with this new naming method will include the Protector 57A and the Navelworth 86M shuttles.
