Admiral names for a modern B class

Benbow and Barham fit the Royal Navy's repeated reuse of capital-ship and admiral names, while Duncan was already assigned to a Type 45.

Question

Which admiral name would suit a modern Royal Navy B class?

Short answer

Benbow or Barham would be plausible recurring choices, while Duncan was already in use by a Type 45 destroyer.

Notes

Benbow and Barham are historically recurring and institutionally plausible admiral names for a hypothetical modern B class. Royal Navy naming often reuses names associated with major capital ships and distinguished officers. Duncan is less available for the imagined class because the name already serves in the Type 45 destroyers. The choice would continue an established naming pool rather than invent a new theme.
