Would three very different warships merit Adam Duncan's name?

The Type 45 and G3 are accepted as imagined namesakes for Adam Duncan, with doubts about Type 14 and the destroyer's weapons fit.

Question

Would Admiral Adam Duncan regard the Type 14 frigate, Type 45 destroyer, and a G3 battlecruiser bearing his name as worthy namesakes?

Short answer

The Type 45 and G3 are judged worthy. The Type 14 is the doubtful case, and even the Type 45 might draw criticism for carrying too few guns or VLS cells.

Notes

The Type 45 destroyer and a G3 battlecruiser are treated as worthy of Duncan's name. The Type 14 frigate is the uncertain case. Even the Type 45 might have prompted complaints about the number of guns and vertical-launch cells. This remains a character judgment rather than a claim about what the historical admiral actually said.
