What is the ruling on using the term "the Ark of Prophet Nuh (Noah), peace be upon him" for a ship that appears in an anime story or similar?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the naming of a vessel, other than Noah's Ark, with its name is done mockingly, contemptuously, or in derision of the story of Noah (peace be upon him), then it is not permissible.

However, if the naming is not for the purpose of mockery, but rather in the context of explaining the story of Noah's Ark (peace be upon him), or likening a ship to Noah's Ark in its enormity, then there appears to be nothing to prevent such naming.
