Karsten Stroschen is a German customer of ours who kindly sent me a list
of
various class names, most of which I used for the NSL fleet, which were
mostly drawn from the original Swabian League (Circa 1400s?). I added a
few
assorted ones from Austrian 19th Century naval history and a few
unconnected Germanic ones, and hence the list of NSL class names. The
Corvette name was a thank-you to him.  See, you CAN get a ship (or even
a
class) named after you if you try really hard!!
