That seems almost insulting.
The Widow of Windsor had lots of BIG things named in her honor... ships, locomotives, cities... why not an airship. Not an insult at all.. Cheers Harold ... A whole state... I personally think that the modern connotations regarding women and blimps must be considered in this case. |

How 'bout the HMS? Thus completed, it forms the overly excessively unnecessary redundancy of HMS HMS
Why not make it a palindrome (without the The) The HMS SMH. Personally though I would have to call mine something predictable such as The Mighty Big Falling Balloon, The Dreaded Inevitability of Crashing, The Why Did They Let Me Have This or the name I am using in my animation The Perfect vigilance. |

The first name that came to my mind was the punnish: "The Lightness of Being Unbearable".
Although, if it had a weather control machine installed I would go with; "Juracán".

HMS is a prefix of military ship names standing for "Her (or His) Majesty's Ship." The American version is USS, I think. The Titanic was the RMS Titanic as it was a Royal Mail Ship. |

This begs an interesting question - for zeppelins, should this be changed to HM A - for Her (unless it was His) Majesty's Airship? HMA Little Victoria
HMA Pterodactylus
HMA DefenestratorThe American version, then, would be United States Airship - USA. USA Stars and Stripes
