Lol did you see the ship hehe i could not stop laughing.

Funny, perhaps, but ignorant: Titan is a moon of Saturn, not Uranus.

It might be a good name, though, for the longboats the people of Pitcairn Island take through the heavy breakers at Bounty Bay.
Or, for the motor lifeboats that the Hole-in-the-wall Gang take out of Depoe Bay, OR.

Hi
TITAN URANUS is not a fanny name. Perhaps it seems to be funny to you because you don't know what are TITAN and URANUS.
TITANS, in Greek mythology, were Gods, before the 12 Olympian ones (Zeus-Poseidon-Apollo-Ermes-Athina-Aphrodite...).
URANUS (means SKY) was the Titans' father, therefore a Titan, and GAIA (Earth) was their mother.
If you want more information about Titans the link will help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology))
As you can see TITAN URANUS everyway is not a funny name.
Best regards
Thanasis

I was thinking of you the other day Jack.

We were driving into west seattle. There was 1 container vessel being offloaded, and then on the side of the road was a little boat on a trailer, right on the stern it said Capt' Jack.

Well, here is one of the longest ship names ever: FLIEGERKOSMONAUT DER DDR SIGMUND JÃ„HN. They used to have two rowes at the ship to paint the whole name on it.

Guess nobody knows this hero nowadays!?!

mvsmith · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2008, 22:05:02 »

As I recall, Dr. Jahn was the first German astronautâ€”cosmonaut I guess, because he was in the DDR and flew on a SOYUS. He later worked for the ESA.

Or if they made a ship called Uranus, The orderers of that ship would check in with the ship builders asking "Is Uranus done yet?

I was thinking on imagining a fiction ship with the name called "Long Lei."

I have a huge list of funny names that I've seen on AIS during those long hours on watch. Dont know where my notebook is at the moment but from memory:
Ducky Shiny
A Beer
Flipper
A Elephant
Mr Omar
Ginga Panther

Loads more but as I say, will have to whip out the notebook.
By the way, they might not be that funny, but they were at the time

I can beat that name - my photo of an SCI tanker arriving in the Tees - "Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekon PVC" - I beleive the longest name on a ship.

That would be funny for "A Elephant because It would be "An Elephant".
