Type 45: No more "D" class... lets have a proper historical naming:
Revenge
Resolution
Repulse
Relentless
Rapid
Resolve
Furious
Glorious
Hood
Etc
As for the two CVF's - Warspite and Warrior (not Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales)...
The USN has to stop naming carriers after politicians - what next, the USS William (Hilary) Clinton??? the madness must stop lol....

I'd like to see the Carriers get names from distinguished former CVs, like 'Ark Royal' and 'Hermes'.
For the RAN, I'd like the two LHD/Sea Control ships named after distinguished Flag Officers and Generals and the Destroyers named after States with Frigs named after cities and PBs after Rivers. The transports being named after Battles like the Tobruk works for me.
As for the subs, it's a shame they didn't call them AE-11 and the like after our original submarines, some of them led very impressive careers.
