    Ok, so I got an old Cartoon that some of you may remember. Called Robotech. Its an old manga cartoon from the 80's. In the first season they attach two aircraft carriers to the sides of the main space fortress. These carriers are called...

    Prometheus and Daedalus. When I first heard them call one of the carriers Prometheus, I had a little chukkle to my-self. Then in the next ep they call the other one Daedalus... I nealy fell of my chair!

    The labyrinth from which Theseus escaped by means of the clew of Ariadne was built by Daedalus, most skillful artificer.
    Prometheus was the son of Iapetos and Klymene (Clymene). His name means Forethought.

    They probably didnt get the idea from a cartoon in the 80s called Robotech.

    They are both ship class names in star trek as well

    And the whole greek mythology .....

    I did smile when I saw them when watching my Robotech DVDs but I put it down to the fact they've been using the names for years in various places and their placing in Greek mythology.

    I liked Jack's original name for the Prometheus.
    Jack: "Have they come up with a name for the ship yet?"
    Carter: "Sir you cant call it 'Enterprise'"
    Jack: "Why not!?"

    Or something to that accord
