The Naming of the Unnamed Spaceships (+ other patterns?)

Category:Spaceships

It's kind of sad to see most of the spaceships under the numbers section have ridiculously hard to remember placeholder code names. Especially seeing they are pretty significant (some of them are the smallest known ships of their speed!). At least I think they're codenames because some of the ship pages say the ships are unnamed.

Should we give these names?
