I have always thought that it is a mistake marketingwise to name a class of boats with an "F" and a number. It sounds so cold and sterile, like something that a computer came up with (even if that is true).

People who love boats want to think of them more like a member of the family. F-16 just doesn't sound very "friendly." What is it I am trying to say? I can't figure out how to express it.
