The Galatea is a ship in the Fleet.

The ship has yet to be seen, but its name is shown on the voting tally board in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II".

The Galatea is probably named for a main character in the Greek myth of Pygmalion. Pygmalion, a sculptor, creates a statue of a woman, which is so beautiful that he falls in love with it, and the gods reward him by bringing her (Galatea) to life.
