Holy crap, how can I have forgotten this little beauty:

That, of course, is Uchu Senkan Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato) from the old anime, and yes - that big hole in the prow is the muzzle of one of the B-est of all BFG's.

Then on similar lines I propose the Fairwind. Yes, it's Star Wars, but it's EU, so it's not well known.

Every time I hear about that series I always get a small chuckle. Its kinda like the Raising the Titanic movie back in the 80's where they raised the ship and aside from missing a funnel it looked like it was sunk last week not in 1912.

Maybe we could have our own? Space Battleship Arizona. Or better yet, space battleship Constitution.

Always been a pet peeve of mine. Goa'uld ships were supposed to land on pyramids (and did in the show) but these ships are not even of the right proportion and three sided, not four sided. I always wondered why they went with that.
