Why HMS Unicorn would suit a future aviation-support ship

Would the lead ship of a future Royal Navy aviation-support class be named HMS Unicorn?

It would be an appropriate and welcome choice, although no naming decision is claimed.

HMS Unicorn would be a fitting name for the lead ship of a future aviation-support class. The choice would connect the new vessel with the wartime aircraft-maintenance carrier and later museum ship. It remains a possibility rather than a forecast of an approved naming decision. A well-matched historic name can communicate a support ship's function as clearly as a battle honour communicates a combatant's identity.
