I'd have to poach some of Iain M. Banks's naming conventions and go for ships pre-fixed according to their class.

[ROU] Indiscriminate Justice

ROU being Rapid Offense Unit, probably a bit of a contradiction in terms when talking capships. Maybe a Hooligan class [LOU] would work better for those who've read any of his books.

If you haven't come across his work people have lists of ships used in them.

Pretty comprehensive list methinks.

ctishman, nice pick on the name, does that mean your SN'll be Spike?

btw, I think that would kick ass to be able to fly around in one of those frigs, only question is, how would you go about docking?

Snuff: IIRC, it was Jet who owned the Bebop, and Spike was some sort of freeloader along for the ride. As for landing, I'll just find a nice big lake.

Alright I lay claim to: Red Dwarf, and Tiger Claw, just for the sake of nostalgia. :D
