&gt; For example, if ships were named something like &quot;Peacekeeper&quot; or &quot;Ambassador&quot; rather than &quot;Torturer&quot; or &quot;Thug&quot;, it would lead to a perception of peace-keeping as their intended role.<p>I&#x27;m reminded of Star Trek, where the Federation&#x27;s focus on &quot;peacekeeping and exploration&quot; never stopped it from fitting even the most measly science vessels with phaser banks and maybe some photon torpedo launchers.
