If you could rename one Royal Navy warship, which would it be?
Short answerHe would rename Campbeltown as Fearless, while retaining Warspite despite reservations about giving the name to an SSBN.
NotesThe objection is symbolic: Campbeltown commemorates a ship deliberately destroyed in the St Nazaire raid. That is considered an awkward model for a new amphibious warship even while the historical crew and mission deserve respect. Warspite remains untouched because of the name's exceptional standing and the symbolism of assigning it to a nuclear-armed submarine. Fearless offers an established Royal Navy alternative without the self-destruction association.
