One of those superstitions is renaming a boat.

Historically it’s been considered bad luck to change the name of a boat. However, if you absolutely must change the name of a boat, a purging and renaming ceremony must be completed before the name is revealed or anything with the new name enters the boat.

When this navy is done with crazy, the superstition will be secure for generations.

Thanks for that info. It sounds almost like an exorcism.
