Wouldn't the ship be christened at the Ship Yards? I don't think there's anyway a crew would even know about the ship and its name until they were assigned to it.

Historically Boats have naming convetions based on classifications. I wounder if the memory alpha has any articals on how these details are handled in Star Trek.
Example

Not really.
The only ship class that had a set naming convention was the Luna-Class and they were all named for moons of the Sol system. But thats not canon.
Most every canon ships shown has either been named for a past ship or for a scientist with no regard to ship-class. Any theories on ship naming conventions is just that.. theories and guess work.
I could be wrong, though.

you probobly missed this. its the last post on page three. I posted it in reply to your statement that the naming should be handled ICly. Then how do we go about handling it ICly? Is it just assigned by Command? Does the Captain petition Command? Is it assigned by the GMs? Does the Admiral handle it? This is a good time as any to set this procedure down so when we launch future ships theres no headaches.

I could be wrong, though. Um, it's been a Mix. I think initial production lines were based on set naming conventions per class. Right off, the Danube-class Runabout, which are pretty much starships in their own right if small and fragile, were all initially named after Rivers on Earth.(This was joked about in a DS9 episode as well). It's a safe bet that ships of a class will follow a naming scheme.. but also be named by whatever fleet command wants to name it at that point. Which means ICly, if Fleet Command says "Name it this" that's the end of it. Honestly, Lets just keep it simple and stick to Sentinel.

We still need a GM and any crewman interested in transfering from a different ship to here.
For example: A Lieutent Jr Engineering Officer on the Adagio could come over to the this ship to be it's new Chief Engineer.
An Ensign Jr Tactical Officer from the Independence could come over and be the ship's new Chief Tactical.
We cant get this ship rolling without a viable crew to get her off the ground first. Anyone interested?
yes... this includes you new people too! ;D

If we are having to pull people from other ships to create this new ship, should we even be creating a new ship at all?

So the Independence's crew who is losing Vorath and still needs more engineering and sciencey-type crew (I think) is supposed to give up more members to start a new ship?

Nevermind, I'll give up if you think that's best. You don't have to give up. My point is that I don't think we should be starting a new ship if we have to yank players from other ships in order to get it started. If we don't have enough people to start a new ship, then don't start one until we get more members to do so. Otherwise, we will keep having ships that end up derelict because of absent / inactive crew.

The only ship that's been asked to "give up members" is the Adagio, specifically because they have too many. The Independance and Ayanami won't be losing players for this ship (with exception to Joy herself). Vorath is leaving the Indy regardless, so that's not really an example you can use against the Sentinel.
The idea is to get new players, and extra players from the Adagio. Assuming your probation is over, and you don't already have an alt, any player can add a second character if they wish. But, like I said, the ideal is for unique players. But they won't be taken from other ship, unless the player is already moving anyway.

I'm excited, trepiditious and honestly, I freely admit i'm not the most confident of people... But damnit I MUST do this, at least to prove to myself I can... Brian can't even do mondays anylonger due to a scheduling issue anyway, meaning Vorath is leaving regardless...

But they won't be taken from other ship, unless the player is already moving anyway. Well, in my original quote of Donaldson, he mentioned the Independence in an example. And even on top of that, if the Adagio has more than enough members, why not try to get those members onto the other existing ships that need them instead of moving them to a new ship? I remember some talk before about how there wouldn't be any new ships until the current ships were filled out. Was that a lie? I know the Independence certainly isn't filled out and it doesn't look like the Ayanami is either. I'm not trying to bash the idea of a new ship, but I'm afraid that the current ships will suffer in terms of recruitment with an added new ship.
