There are more videos coming talking about all about the ship with him.
Hopefully where Engineering actually is haha.
Mike says the disassembled shuttle in the workbay is the 'Sequoia'. I don't think we've seen a name tag for it yet?
He also gave a couple names of other California class ships that will be showing up.

The anecdote about how the ship's name came about is cool and all, but what I actually found more interesting in this interview is how he kind of hints at some of the struggle the writers had with striking the right comedic tone and balance for the show and that it took them a couple of episodes to realize what works best. In light of some of the discussion that has been going on in this forum about the show's tone it's just interesting to learn that that's also something they discussed internally and with the studio. I wonder if the second half of the season and going into season two the show will feel noticeably different compared to the first batch of episodes.
I had a feeling the ship was named after the city of Cerritos. It reminded me of Rachel Bloom choosing to set her Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in the teeming metropolis that is West Covina, Ca. 
Also, good news that the show is going to continue to evolve as the season goes on, not that that’s a surprise, but still good to hear it from McMahan.

LOL, IRL West Covina is modern day Suburbia.
Boimler is from Modesto. Same as George Lucas.
The California jokes are apparently a running gag.
It's okay to mock West Covina, but not my hometown of Covina. Covina, by the way, borders The real world San Dimas California. Excellent! *air guitar* (three Bill & Ted movies and none of them actually filmed in the real San Dimas.)I had a feeling the ship was named after the city of Cerritos.

(Now I want to see the USS San Dimas commanded by Captain Preston-Logan. Maybe it works with the department of temporal investigations.)
It's been suburbia for 50 years.
Time. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the USS San Dimas. It's ongoing bogus journey: To party on and be excellent to each other!
glad to hear... my first thought when the ship's name was unveiled was indeed the "cerritos auto square" local commercials i grew up with.
Making a Trek comedy is definitely a tricky proposition and the later episodes seem at least slightly better than the awful first two episodes, so here's hoping it only gets better. Because it did not get off to a good start!
