>My undergraduate school that I won't name was located on a 'land locked ship' in Canada. It was literally land, but commissioned and christened in the Royal Navy as a ship in the 19th century.
Interesting. Near Pune in India, there is a training institute of the Indian Navy called INS Shivaji (INS = Indian Naval Ship). I was surprised by the name when I first heard about it. Seems like the same custom as the one you mention.
