BRAD'S COMMENTS:  The venerable B-52 series of bombers has an affectionate nickname: B.U.F.F.  The acronym being translated to mean Big Ugly Fat Fucker.  I often think of that acronym when I see the G-3 design, even more than the ridiculous L-13.  But hey, the G-3 is a freighter after all, and freighters are not glamour ships like the cruisers and/or battleships.  A freighter is a working man's vessel, and as with cargo ships of the 21st century, the cargo craft of the 23rd century are not known for their pleasing aesthetics; especially within Klingon territory!  The G-3 is also notable in that it is one of the only Klingon ships that carries no weaponry.  Would any Klingon officer consider serving on a G-3 to be anything besides dishonorable??
