Would Enterprise make sense as the name of a 1960s Royal Navy nuclear guided-missile cruiser?
Short answerThe name fit Royal Navy tradition, but Britain would probably avoid sharing it with the contemporary American nuclear carrier.
NotesThe Royal Navy often reused E- and D-class names, so Enterprise would fit its naming traditions. A 1960s nuclear guided-missile cruiser would still share the public identity of the new American nuclear carrier Enterprise. Britain was therefore unlikely to use the name for its own nuclear surface ship and would probably turn to another established choice.
