Each ship has a specific name-what inspired the names you selected? Being a
traditionalist, I stuck to names that would be considered appropriate for the Royal Navy
and US Navy. Here are mine:

HMS Britannic-who knows how many British ships carried this name. Certainly appropriate
for the Royal Navy.

HMS Atlantic-another historically appropriate name for a British ship.

HMS Reknown-actual name used by the Royal Navy on an early 20th Century Man-o-War.

HMS Hawke-Royal Navy cruiser that was drawn into the side of the RMS Olympic early in it's
commercial career due to suction created by the larger ship.

HMS Turbinia-named in honor of the SS Turbinia which Parsons sailed through the naval
review of the Grand Fleet, creating an uproar and introducing the naval application of the
steam turbine to the Royal Navy. A few short years later, the steam turbine would be the
heart of the propulsion systems of HMS Dreadnought.

USS John Brown-named after the pre-Civil War abolitionist who led an insurrection at
Harper's Ferry, Virginia (now present day West Virginia). After being captured by United
States Marines under the command of then Colonel Robert E. Lee (the same man who would
lead the Army of Northern Virginia), Brown stated that only a bloody civil war could
cleanse the nation of the stain of slavery. During the Second World War, a Liberty Ship
carried his name. Today the John W. Brown is one of only two seaworthy Liberty Ships in
the world, the other being the Jeremiah O' Brian.
