Starship names from Star Trek
If you’re looking for ideal names for spaceships, you’re on ground well-trodden by the writers of Star Trek, which must have the largest list of named spaceships from any franchise!
Below is a list of Federations starships (including non-Starfleet spaceships) used in canon Star Trek (so not including books or games).
There’s more information on this wiki page about Federation starships, including links with information about each ship. A fun name on this list is the USS Alka Selsior, an an in-joke reference to the Alka-Seltzer brand-name of indigestion medicine, & a play on the name “Excelsior”.
