I just finished reading “Atlas Shrugged”, and I don’t recall that the ship actually had a name. Ragnar does say, at one point, that after the strike, when the people of ability return to the world, the ship will make a nice luxury cruise ship.

But then again, maybe the ship was called “The Bainbridge”!

The USS Robin Hood...

Would be fitting, because Rand describes Ragnar as, “The Robin Hood who robs the humanitarians and gives to the rich.”

The ship is actually never named, in Atlas or any of Rand’s notes or other books, though Ragnar had a number of names, including Hjalmar, Ivar, and Kay, before she settled on Ragnar, according to her notes.
