Short answer

Possible choices included Cape Town or the provinces of Transvaal, Natal, Orange Free State, and Cape of Good Hope.

Large cities and regions offered possible names for a hypothetical South African cruiser squadron. Cape Town and Good Hope were possibilities, while the four provinces offered a complete set of regional names. Transvaal, Natal, Orange Free State, and Cape of Good Hope would have provided four regional names. These are suggestions for an imagined squadron.
