Would converted Admiral-class ships keep their names?

Would the Royal Navy rename converted Admiral-class battlecruisers as aircraft carriers?

Probably not; the existing names would more likely remain, even though carrier-style names can be appealing.

Fearless and Intrepid are attractive carrier names for fictional conversions, yet the Royal Navy would be unlikely to rename existing Admiral-class hulls simply because their role changed. Conversion proposals had already been examined for at least one ship. Continuity of identity is therefore more plausible than a new naming scheme. The exchange separates an appealing theme from the institutional practice likely to govern a real conversion.
