"Dreadnaughtus" size and battleship names (think: "Yamato")

["Vlad Petnicki" <bucketfoot-al@justice.com>]

Uncloaking for the first time in about 8 years, as the topic of Dreadnaughtus 
has brought up the battleship analogy that is so near and dear to my heart.  

"Yamatotitan" would indeed be a great name for an uber-sauropod - if we could 
ever find a giant skeleton complete enough for verification that it would 
indeed be worthy of the honor.

As far as Battleship Yamato goes, in one of my (many) other lives I am an 
amateur historian.  Anyone interested in the history of the real WW2 Battleship 
Yamato is invited to peruse my Internet Yamato/Musashi Archive Photo gallery:
