As for the translation of the ship name, remember that "Enterprise" in
Klingon became simply {'entepray'}.
So perhaps Federation ship names are just transliterated into Klingon -
maybe they'd use something that sounds like "Schrödinger's Cat", such as
*{So'DInger qat}.
Or, if the Klingons are familiar with this thought experiment, they may
describe the ship by referring to it by the phrases that have already been
suggested on the list.
