A few alternative ship names:

Munker is short for Mine Junker which it can also be referred to as.
Additional ship names:
Brawl Junker - can refer to any Junker build with a focus on close-range fighting.
Flameidion - typically refers to a Pyramidion build with 2 Dragon Tongue Light Flamethrowers in the front.

GeoRmr:
Disappointed that no one seems to know that Catfish is the real name for a goldfish with a hwacha.
Alistair MacBain:
There is no global name for a goldfish with a hwacha.
Some call it hwachafish. Other call it shatterfish. And some others got even other names.
Not every build has a common name.
SaintR.L.:
Somehow I feel like he's trying to make a joke or it's an inside thing within certain circles. Best not pursue it further...
