Short answerFraser, Cunningham, Somerville, and Harwood make the list; Dudley Pound is allowed reluctantly, and Mountbatten is rejected.
NotesThe list of Second World War admirals deserving future Royal Navy ship names begins with Bruce Fraser and Andrew Cunningham. James Somerville and Henry Harwood follow as further candidates. Dudley Pound is allowed a ship reluctantly, while Mountbatten is rejected. The exchange treats commemoration as a judgment about naval leadership rather than simply a list of famous names.
