Makes you wonder, why the Death Star wasn't called Star Destroyer, and the Star Destroyer wasn't called Death Triangle.

Because they obviously were based on the real Destroyers used in WWI and II, but instead of the sea they are used among the stars, hence Stardestroyer.

I can't remember them being called "sea destroyers" though ;)

On the other hand that would be a fitting name for oil rigs.
