Ocean-class amphibious ships would likely use traditional sea names

An Ocean-class naming scheme would probably begin with Ocean and draw on established maritime or capital-ship names rather than simply listing oceans.

Question

Would Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Antarctic suit an Ocean-class group of amphibious assault ships?

Short answer

Ocean would lead the class, but later ships would more likely use traditional sea-related capital-ship names than a list of oceans.

Notes

The proposed names Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Antarctic suggest a literal geographic theme for a class of amphibious assault ships. Royal Navy practice would more likely begin with Ocean and then reach for related traditional names such as Sovereign of the Seas. That approach treats naming as a continuation of institutional memory rather than a rigid category list, combining class themes with historic prestige.
