Yup, new names are needed. I’d actually look to the old post-WWI names for the Battlecruisers that were never built (names that were lifted from age of sail ships) but those are just about all legacy carrier names.
Then again, Ranger, Constellation and perhaps Monitor could work. Might make up for hanging Independence on a freakin’ LCS.

Defender, Protector, Guardian, Stellar, Sentinel
some ideas
Weren’t most of those recent minesweeper names?
The Brits always had better names to draw from. Furious, Terror, Vengeance, Warspite for instance.
I didn’t know if they had been used, just thought they sounded good.
It’s a new age, we need to keep up with the times... these ships could be named the Fabulous Class and every ship could be named after some homosexual behavior or whatever.
Um, yeah, thanks a bunch for going there. Just thought up a half dozen names based on your criteria before I checked myself.
Now I need to go remember where I left the brain bleach ...
lol
I think we had 142 people on a USCG 378.
I can’t imagine being the DCA on this one. Better hope your automation works.
