Would China name an aircraft carrier Taiwan?

Would the People's Liberation Army Navy ever name a carrier Taiwan as a political statement?

Probably not; a destroyer or a less direct name such as Formosa would carry less risk if the ship were lost.

Taiwan is considered an unlikely carrier name in this speculation about Chinese naval signalling. Formosa is suggested as an alternative, and a destroyer as a less conspicuous choice of ship. A carrier would attach the political claim to a particularly prominent target. Losing that ship could then turn its intended symbolism into a damaging reversal.
