Do I have the wrong end of the stick when I was under the impression that by convention all Cunard vessels ended in "A"? the exception being Queen Mary which was alleged to have been from a misunderstanding when the chairman of Cunard asked the King for permission to name the new vessel after Britain's Queen meaning Victoria to which the King replied "Oh Mary will be delighted" That apparently started a president that lead to Queen Elizabeth and QE2 but I had the impression Cunard still preferred to end their vessel names with "A"
