There have been two ships named USS Mikhail Kalashnikov since 2379. Both ships have recieved the nickname of MK from their crews. The vessel was named after a Russian weapon designer from Earth's past who was from the late twentieth century during an era called the "Cold War". It was ironic that the plaque motto of both MK's reads: "It Is An Unfortunate Fact That We Can Secure Peace Only By Preparing For War..." said by John F. Kennedy the President of the United States of America who was seen as the opposition to Soviet Russia during the "Cold War".
