2.3.10 Klingon Starship Names

Most Klingon ships use the prefix IKS (Imperial Klingon Ship), even if they belong to one of the Great House fleets. For reasons of tradition and politics, most Klingon commanders prefer to maintain the fiction that the Emperor ultimately rules them and owns their ships. They do not have registry numbers displayed on their hulls the way Starfleet vessels do, preferring to restrict that information to identification beacons and the like. Ship names are chosen by the ship’s designer, commissioner, or first captain, depending upon circumstances and House tradition.
