This brings to mind an interesting story (for me at least). I was stationed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), just after commissioning in 1987.

There are two crew's mess areas (not including the Wardroom(s), and the Chief's messes) on the second deck of a Nimitz class carrier, one aft to amidships, and one forward. There was a contest to name the forward mess area on TR. My suggestion of "Roughrider's San Juan Grille" was the winning entry. As far as I know it still bears that name.

There was no prize, just got my name mentioned in the ship's paper.

It's interesting to me too. Congrats on winning and thanks for sharing that with us.
