Actually it was the tradition of the navy for a long time to name cruiser for cities (with a few noteable exceptions) and battleships for states.Admiral Valdemar wrote:*Slaps phongn silly with a haddock*phongn wrote:It's a cruiser, right? Name them after cities.
We're trying to make the USN sound decent, right now I've seen Michelin travel maps with more military bravado.

Go for decent names, Conqueror, Vengeance, Victory, Victorious, Leviathan, Iron Duke, Invincible, Onyx and my personal favourites: Dreadnaught and Thunderchild.
