While we were building the Crazy Engines thread, I came across many aircraft nicknames that were really funny and thought that I would start one just for this purpose.

The first ship is the S3 Viking which is a submarine chaser for the Navy.

It's nickname is "Hoover" and the attached video shows how it got the handle.
