This is the growing roster of USS INFLICT Assault Shuttlecraft designations. The local rule for naming, established by the previous CO, is to memorialize Away Teams by using their last transmission to christen a vessel. Appellations have been invited at a number of locations, including The Skeptics Annotated Bible, Atheists Vs Theists, Freethinker's Pub, and Atheism and more.... All suggestions submitted are included, with credit for the contributor.

Footnotes for Hawker Hurricane’s contributions:

*1. In Star Trek: The Role Playing Game, crossbows with more range than phaser rifles. From Murphy’s Rules
*2. A World War 2 Eighth Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress pilot named all of his planes Hang the Expense… and he had seven of them.
*3. The computer game, Wizardry, had this series of signs done in the ‘Burma Shave’ style… instead of the 4th sign, it had a pit trap.
*4. Dedicated to the Mayor of Hiroshima.
*5. Dedicated to General Custer.
*6. The game ‘Space Opera’ had a concept of ‘cultural tech levels’… on the list, space flight came before nuclear weapons, in spite of the fact that (on Earth at least) nuclear weapons predate space flight by a good 10 years.
*7. What Fay Wray DIDN’T say on the Empire State Building.
*8. What morse code SOS sounds like if you bang it on the walls.
*9. The Star Trek cartoon had Kzin. Star Fleet Battles added them to their game. THEN Larry Niven objected.
*10. At the battle of Leyte Gulf, American task force "Taffy Three" found themselves facing a Japanese force of 4 battleships, 5 Heavy Cruisers, 1 Light Cruiser and 6 destroyers. Taffy Three had 3 destroyers and 6 destroyer escorts. After sinking 2 destroyers and 4 destroyer escorts, the Japanese Admiral disengaged without a loss. A lookout on the surviving American destroyer, watching the Japanese move away, announced to the American Admiral: "Look, sir! They're getting away!"
