Dear Traveller

Today I became aware that there are some interesting similarities. Have a look:

Is the Icarus of Planet of apes similar to a Suleiman?

And even more astounding is that
Leslie Nielsen plays Captain Jamieson in "The Creature Wasn't Nice". His ship is called Vertigo and looks similar to the ship on the cover of the "Spinnward Marches Campaign".

Are there more lesser known references or similarities in other movies?

Is there a list?

Superficially. The Icarus is a lot smaller, and is the earlier design of the two. The Sulieman didn't acquire the inset bridge windows that make the Icarus distinctive until well into CT.
