To be fair to Sheppard, "puddle jumper" is a term for very small, manned aircraft. "Ship" has always implied to me something large; small watercraft are more "boats," which I wouldn't call any spacecraft. So puddle jumper fits better to me than gateship.

    If you want more fun, in us navy parlance, boats are only submarines. Everything else is a ship. The easy way to remember it is that if it sinks on purpose, its a boat.

    Submariners will tell you this is wrong, and that are only boats, and targets.
