Ship Names, Political Ramifications

Was there ever a TCS Enterprise? I'm curious about that now. Ha, if not, they should add that into the next episode of Standoff!

TCS MacArthur

Like in my MUSH, Beyond the Fire, we have an ENS MacArthur, and MacArthur class troop transport because while he was a general, he was also CinC of all pacific forces in WWII. As such he had naval fleets under his command.

"USS Yamato" is already a weird thing.

Anyone know what the significance of the name TCS Johnny Greene is? Shame on me if it's obvious, but when I googled the name, I didn't get much.

Thanks for the info!
I've recently completed my collection fo Startrek TNG, DS9 and Voyager DVDs.
I spent a LOT of hours watching'em and fancied myself an expert. I'm evidently not.

TCS Earth... to lame? of course it would be a morale killer to lose it in battle.

I've only got Seasons 4 and 6 of DS9 on DVD so far, but got a lot of Vids

Considering the importance of Michael Okuda to Startrek (Scenic Art Supervisor-technical consultant), Japanese or Asian names to any of the ships are a well deserved honor.
