Yeah, sorry.  It's just that in my original "NAC - American style", I
already had an escort cruiser called the Norfolk & I felt it best to
avoid confusion.  That's why I have a battleship Quebec & a cruiser cite
du Quebec.  Same goes for Mexico, Guatemala, & Panama.	

And while we're on the subject, rememering the controversy involving the
naming of a submarine "City of Corpus Cristi", the name of one of my
light escort cruisers should have been either "City of Corpus Cristi" or
"Ciudad de Corpus Cristi", depending on which language the majority of
the citizens of Corpus Cristi will be speaking in 2183.

For John Brewer....
   
  John,
   
  Just a brief comment on your class names, from a dweller across the
pond...
   
  If the Thunderer class battleship names are based upon contemporary
British counties, then the following should drop the "shire" part of the
name:
   
  NORFOLK, SUFFOLK, SUSSEX, DURHAM, KENT.
   
  You could also add HERTFORDSHIRE.
   
  We're not great ones for consistency and continuity in naming systems
over here! 
   
  Best,
  Ken
