Forum:SH Archive/Ship names in Star Wars

As far as I recall, ship names are proper nouns and not preceded by "the". For instance, go through any ship article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_carriers_of_the_Royal_Navy or any other. So why is it that we place "the" before ship names in our articles? The Executor or the Conqueror, for instance. Something I'm missing? --Danik Kreldin 19:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
