This is way off topic; but I'm curious; what didn't they like about RN
naming policy?	(I thought the RN was sticking to their usual naming 
policy, unlike the USN which is naming things after senators that they
really like.  *sigh* )

As for ship names; I tend to use a weird blend of USN and RN naming 
traditions.  If a ship class is named after people, I tend to use the
names
of people I know, which leads to weird situations where a friend I'm 
playing against proceeds to blow his namesake out of space.  (8-)
