Names
 

Hi,

I've just finished my first r/c submarine and need a name. It's not based on
anything so it's kind of hard to think of a name. When you guys need a name
for your targets (boats) where do you get the naem from?

Thanks Michael

At Buffalo Naval Park sits a for real WW2 sub with the name "Croaker" --
Strikes me as strange, but if it's good enuf for the navy.......

There never has been a submarine named Fang.

Therefore, I nominate Fang.

You could always pick a historic name. How about the CSS Hunley? She's
considered the first submersible ever to sink an enemy vessel in
combat.
You would need to do a bit more research to figure out which sub was
first to sink an enemy vessel *and* return safely to port, if I
remember the story correctly.

And all subs were named after fish in ww2

Well, at least US subs.

One might wnat to consider that the CSS Hunley had three crews die in it,
if selecting it for a name :-) Including the one that sunk that Union
ship. I have seen the replica of it in Charleston SC. Amazing design.

I have seen the real thing, and it's more amazing-er. Like sitting sideways
in a 55gal drum, under water, while working a hand crank. Yikes.

ps. I vote for "Landshark"

AFAIK that would be the U-9.

Some day I hope to see the real one myself. I heard there were some of
the surprises from the design or the replica. I need to make another
trip to Charleston.
