A recurring identification problem complicates the post-pause French programme. France may have reused material intended for the cancelled Charles Martel project, and the continued naming helps explain why accounts connect it with Brennus. Yet Brennus had fundamentally different hull and keel forms. Inherited material or a revived name does not make a later design the same warship.

Brennus was not simply the cancelled Charles Martel rebuilt
Continued naming and possible material reuse can blur the record, but different hull and keel forms distinguish Brennus from the cancelled Charles Martel design.
