Title: Sea going ships with Star Wars names
Post by: Ferretnc on July 17, 2004, 11:13 AM

Hi everyone, Just signed up today. Here is a little thing I saw not sure if anyone knows about this but a company in Athens greece named 3 of thier vessels after Star Wars.  They are:

Jedi Knight    Flag: Malta
OBI WAN       "             "
Qui Gon Jinn  "             "
Company name is:  Combine Marine Inc.

Just thought this was cool and wanted to share it with everone.

Thanks for the head's up Eddie!  Cool stuff!  It'd be even more fun if we could see the ships in action...   8)

During the first Gulf War, I beleive the higher up commanders were called The Jedi Knights. I'm not 100% on that though.
