During WW II the US built LSTs (Landing Ships, Tank) in many places, including Cairo, Illinois, where one particular LST just would not stay afloat. In fact, they raised her, repaired her, and put her back in the water only to sink again, that she became known as the ship that faced a thousand launches.

Perhaps I should send that to BW contest.

But for ironically appropriate names, how about Wayne Bobbitt?
