(Red Tibet), "T'hen Hong Kong" (Communist Hong Kong), "Marshal Pan Dah
Huay" (he was a famous military leader of there Civil War, so, it's a
good name for "Voroshilov"-class cruiser), "Tunchi Chou En Lai" (Comrade
Chou En Lai, he was a high-ranked revolutionary, not a bad candidate to
call a battlecruiser after).

Well, if you're going to use Communist ship-naming conventions, there'll

just /have/ to be an entire class named "The East Is Red" and only 
distinguished by their hull numbers... :-D
