@Jetfire59 I couldn't resist posting that. However, in a Star Trek novel, there was a Starship called the USS John F. Kennedy, and on Star Trek Discovery they had a Starship named the USS Glenn (I'm assuming that it was named for John Glenn).

Then there's always the Mad Magazine parody "Star Blech". The ship was Uss Booby Prize.
