Then there is the titanic's sister ship the Britanic, she was converted into a hospital ship in World War 1 and was sunk by a mine on November 21st 1916 of the greek island of Kea in the Kea channel.
So the question is should we christen our boats if we dont will she be cursed and what if the bottle bounces off?

Just a bit about K-19 the reality was it was a man (high ranking admiral from moscow) who christend K-19 not a girl, also it sufferd many a accident 1961 1972 were the two worst noted.
what about vessels that have been renamed ? that also carries a bad omen.
