AntPhillips Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Not a traditional sub name, but a traditional name looking for a home: HMS Ark Royal Sacrilege I hear you say, but there isn't going to be much opportunity for it to be used on an aviation related ship in the near future, unless the newly mentioned Littoral Strike Ships come under this banner.

Blimey there's always someone🤣🤣🤣 Still thinking along the right lines👍 As for Ark Royal as thoughtfully suggested by ant Phillips... That is reserved for when the Big Liz gets renamed....its all a little sycophantic for me QE,POW....but I get the idea...how about Angry (you wouldn't like me)....hmm too aggressive....ooh there's an idea 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallBlondJohn Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Since I called Warspite correctly, I hearby name this the 'some sort of synonym for bravery' class and the next will be HMS Fearless. Or Courageous. Illustrious as a long shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewolf Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Well as the first three are all previous SSN names I would say it's got to be along the lines of Courageous or Conqueror. As Courageous is still in existence as our one and only floating SSN museum, Conqueror is a good bet! After all she is the only SSN in history to have actually fired her weapons in anger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But following the line of Nuclear submarines in the RN based on the naming of HMS Valiant this is the logical list. 1) HMS Dreadnought 1963 2) HMS Valiant 1966 3) HMS Warspite 1967 4) HMS Resolution 1967 All the best Chris Having called Warspite correctly odds on it is Resloution for the fourth boat, a fitting tribute to our first SSBN and years of faithful service as one of our nuclear deterents on patrol. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 And appropriate to the boat's role - though Revenge would perhaps be even more fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third invincible was to be named Indomitable until the Queen Mother intervened personally to have her re-named Ark Royal. Unfortunately despite saying he had no objections, Charlie didn't have the bottle to intervene personally to have POW renamed Ark Royal! Sad when you consider POW will carry the Pennant number R09 - previously carried by Ark Royal IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
