Obviously the names were selected by committee.
Hopefully, the next class of ships in the water will return to the perfectly satisfactory use of naming ships under a form that makes sense.
The names chosen will mean little to many people unless they know Naval history.
Admirals, Greek Gods, alphabetic, or the like would have been much better surely?
At least they havent instructed matelots to ‘take a knee’ when leaving harbour.
