In keeping with the mass-produced modular nature of the BORON ships for
the OUDF, I've kept the names borongly standard:
Snake Class Frigates:
Taipan, Death Adder, Brownsnake, Kingsnake, etc etc
Spider Class Torpedo Frigates:
Redback, Funnelweb, Huntsman, Wolf Spider etc
River (in regular fleet), Port (in reserve fleet)Destroyers/Patrol Ships
Fly, Sepik, Swan, Yarra, Hunter, Murray, Guadalcanal....
Freemantle, Newcastle, Geelong, Port Moresby.....
"N" Class Lt Cruisers
Numbat, Narrabeen, Ngunarwal, Nandi, Nuku'alofa...
"T" Class Heavy Cruisers
Tuvalu, Tahiti, Tarongah, Townsville, Terror, Triumph...
"W" class Light Carriers
Waikato, Worananora, Wollongong, Waitangi, Wulgaru
Other (non-Boron) ships have traditional names such as
Sydney, Australia, New Zealand, Canberra etc.
Finally, fleet Auxiliaries have names like
"Wombat of Destiny", "Potto of Doom", "Bilby of Nemesis",
"Koala of Retribution", "Wallaby of Fortune"
