I don't know about you, but the fact that we know there's not one
special word means I'm likely going to keep calling it yav Duj. :)
I've seen ghor Duj used before too.

Indeed! I translated "harbour" in the Rime with bIQ Duj vergh, so
it's nice to know my instincts were on-target.
A small part of me was disappointed, since it's said that Klingons
have a history of naval warfare in TKW, and a little part of me was
hoping they'd have a distinct word for a sea-going ship. But I guess
the word Duj might have been the original word for "ship", and only
later became used for spaceships (as happened in English).
