Thank you for sharing!

If I might comment:

  • The Saratoga, Yorktown, Essex and Monitor are more than mentioned imho. I’d be careful with these.
  • (1)7 shoudl probably read ‘Independence’ (typing error)
  • (1)17 should probably read ‘Constitution’ (typing error)
  • (3)7 should probably read ‘Courageos’ (typing error)
  • (4)6 should probably read ‘Bismarck’ (typing error)
  • (4)20 should probably read ‘De Gaulle’ (typing error)
  • Apart from Boudica (4)19 your list of Statesmen is all-male. I’m not recommending a USS Sissi (on the other hand: why not?), but e.g. Catherine the Great would fare great in that list, imho.
  • (5)11 and (5)17 both read ‘Shackleton’. Not only is the entry doubled, this is also the name of the scene where the Living Campaign takes place. So I would suggest to remove both entries, substituting them with different names. Again, most of the list seems to be composed of males.
  • (6)7 should probably read ‘Aristotle’ (typing error)

Besides that, there seem to be some naming conventions by Class. The Danube Class Runabouts for example, are named by rivers/streams; STA follows this with the Danube Class ‘Susquehanna’ that is searched for during Signals (Living Campaign); two of the three canonically known Nova Class starships are named after phenomenons related to suns (Nova, Equinox), it would make perfectly sense to follow that pattern with other Nova Class ships; the third (USS Rhode Island) fell outside of this pattern because it was kind of an in-joke by the producers of VOY.

Also, I want to introduce a list of 20 capitals that would make great random ship names:

  1. Luanda
  2. Malabo
  3. Gaborone
  4. Ouagadougou
  5. Yamoussoukro
  6. Asmara
  7. Banul
  8. Accra
  9. Conakry
  10. Nairobi
  11. Kinshasa
  12. Maseru
  13. Bamako
  14. Maputo
  15. Niamey
  16. Abuja
  17. Kigali
  18. Lusaka
  19. Khartum
  20. Kampala

Last, but not least: There is a list of Starship Names that really should exist (but don’t) in this very forum where you can get additional ideas (and the reasons why this should be a ship within your campaign). There, I explained why, imho, there should really be a USS Kampala in Starfleet. :slight_smile:
