‘I tend to prefer the ‘brute power’ and “cudgel of death” themed names, but the Royal Navy didn’t ask me when they were in the process of naming the vessels :-)’

The RN has always named it’s craft with reference to their role.

The UsS Arleigh Burke, SS Beaver State, USNS Big Horn and USS Charlotte are hardly going to have the enemy soiling their undies! :D

All very true....the US Navy didn’t ask me for my opinion on vessel names either, unfortunately :-)

I think the brits are ahead of the game at subs, the Perishers are of the highest caliber in seamanship and subsurface warfare. They may be a smaller force but in todays technological warfare one sub like an Ohio in one shot would have ended WW2.
