Shouldn't that be CFA Black Duck? Rubber Duck was his callsign (or whatever truckers call it) and the truck was named Black Duck. IIRC.

Anyway.

*The 'Wonder is flying through an asteroid field, with Utena as pilot.*

CORWIN: You're doing this very good for somebody who just got her pilotlicense.

UTENA: Thanks. ... Hey, what's that?

CORWIN: What?

UTENA: I just saw something on that big one over there.

CORWIN: I'll check the sensors. ... Hmm. Looks like there's some ship. A Taurus. Energy systems are down and now lifesigns. Bring us closer to it, I can't see a name on the hull from here.

UTENA: Okay.

...

CORWIN: By Grandpa's beard!!!

UTENA: What!?

CORWIN: It's the _BLACK DUCK_!!!! The ship of Rubber Duck, one of the best blockade runners back in the 2100s!

*The 'Wonder docks with the 'Duck and Utena and corwin go onboard the 'Duck.
All they find is Rubber Duck's corpse and a sheet of paper on which is written: "Congratulations! You've found the Duck, you can keep it. But treat her right or I'll come back and haunt you. And if you put her in a museum I'll bring some of my friends along so they can haunt you, too!
-Rubber Duck*

And that is how Utena got her own ship. ^_^
