Typicall DH is a ship designation, meaning "Heavy Destroyer". In this case I don't know what the heck it means. Though "Dumb as Hell" is a good possibility.

Perhaps it was the abbreviation for a potential expansion and was considered an easter egg.... perhaps it stands for something like "Dark H(actually no good words come to mind, though Dark Horse was what I thought it meant at one point)" or maybe someone needed to differentiate the name for the tables to work and just typed "DH".  Maybe it's a :v: staffer's initials.  Who knows.
who needs a signature? ;)

Actually, come to think of it the obvious one is "Dark Hull". As the hull is black as opposed to white. (or Darker Hull)

I say Death's Head, since it has a skull painted on the cockpit.

If I had to choose, I'd probably go with Death's Hand though. It sorta sounds special operations like.:)
