No official name yet...but many believe that the name will be the Shi Lang.

According to Wikipedia, that "Shi Lang" guy had an interesting record of accomplishments. (Emphasis mine.)

"Shi Lang (Chinese: 施琅; 1621-1696) was a Ming-Qing admiral who had extensive experience in southeastern China. He was commander-in-chief of the Manchu fleets which destroyed the power of the Zheng family and conquered Taiwan in 1681."

Exactly...that is why on a lot of Chinese forums, and from some of their military people, that that name is being bantied around.
