The USS or the UFP
The other day when I was watching Capt. Picard conversing with Romulans, i noticed maybe for the first time that all the ships in the Federation are actually called the USS somehting.
It struck me as odd, that all the ships should start their name from USS (United States Ship), why not UFP (United Federation of Planets) Enterprise (although USS rolls of the tounge easily). I know it seems a little too odd, now that we are so used to USS, Just some food for thought :).

Cool, I guess my new mantra should be when in doubt, GOOGLE
I googled. www.absoluteastronomy.com
'The USS Enterprise was once referred to as the "United Space Ship Enterprise", but ever since has always been "United Star Ship". '

Woooow. Hehe. Ok Assalam alaikum : )

I can't believe I'm actually asking this question.
