What weapons/vehicles/units/etc. have the coolest names?
Tsar Bomba.
Best name for best weapon.
>>22694795
Why don't I have a NATO codename? Is it because Fagot is already taken?
The Afghanies used to call the SABERs/the TOW missiles themselves "the finger of Allah."
PKP Pecheneg

That's the only one with an especially awesome name.
>>22694945
Also Little Bird
Assault rifle 15
>>22694866
The Californians (especially the Berkley area ones) like to call us baby killers. Too bad we're not allowed to hold up to the "Domestic" portion of our "Defending all enemies to the constitution foreign and domestic" pledge.
>>22694975

Old Royal Navy ships.
>Erebus-class monitor HMS Terror
>HMS Dreadnought
>HMS Iron Duke
>HMS Vengeance (currently an SLBM, even better)
>Revenge-class battleship
The French also get an honourable mention for the Charles Martel and Charlemagne, both of which look awesome.
>>22695017
I thought the French named the Royal Navy ships. The British just captured them.
>>22695017
that thing looks like what would happen if a Virginia class sub and a Indiana class battleship fucked
>>22695058
That was only until about 1876.
After that, the French ships were kind of shit compared to the British ones, so they stopped bothering to capture them.

I used to hang with a bunch of naval history geeks who played this pencil and paper game called Wooden Ships & Iron Men, and I would piss them off by giving my ships silly names. HMS Inflection, HMS Dubious, HMS Doubtful... like that.

This is possibly the greatest crime in US history.
>In a rather blunt expression, Rickover is said to have summed up the reason he was changing the long standing tradition: "Fish don't vote!"
Because of fucking politicians we no longer have cool names for vessels outside of the current Tico class cruisers (named for battles) and Boomers (though I like the idea of them being named after dead presidents)

>>22698254
>Absolution
Always thought this would be an awesome name for a large, powerful surface warship. Too bad the US Navy has insisted on such a boring naming scheme for its ships ever since the early Cold War.
>>22694852
wipe something to brink of extinction, name warmachines after them to honor their memory.

Mi-28s NATO codename.

Wait since when do they do that?
I mean the more recent start all with C alright (Challenger, Chieftain, Crusader etc.) But What about the Matilda then?
not a weapon, but my favorite name for a military thing was one of the 2 word codewords for the ISA, "Cemetery Wind"

This. It would be much better if we named Carriers after Naval Flag Officers. Although I would totally get Jimmy Carter for a nuclear sub name.
