This is a cross-post from the "After the storm…" thread but relevant here in this thread too.

Has anyone found out why two of the eight Solar Warden space fleet vessels were Christened after these two men?

Having a space ship named after you must be a pretty high honor, they must have done something really important?

The episode of Stargate SG-1: Small Victories, The Asgard named their ship after Colonel Jack O'Neill (with 'TWO' L's!) The truth really is stranger than fiction?!
