Which admirals recur in Royal Navy ship names

Which admirals are the Royal Navy's favorites when naming ships?

Duncan and Blake recur strongly, while Hawke deserves more use but suffers from weaker modern recognition.

Duncan and Blake have both done well in Royal Navy ship naming. Duncan also offers a way to recognise a particularly prominent Scottish admiral. Hawke receives less recognition, including within the Navy, which helps explain why the name returns less often. The suggestion that Duncan's Scottish identity helps his naming prospects is a political interpretation.
