The game's name generator ignores historical associations between Royal Navy names and ship types. Andromeda sounds more like a cruiser name, while Royal Sovereign and Rodney fit battleships. Forester and Swift suggest destroyers, whereas Tyde suits a submarine. These are judgments about naming tradition rather than fixed rules, since navies reuse names across generations and categories. Several duplicate names appear at once, another sign that the fleet is a simulation abstraction rather than a plausible commissioned list.

Reading Royal Navy ship types through their names
While deleting duplicate submarines, the names Andromeda, Royal Sovereign, Rodney, Forester, and Swift become examples of how Royal Navy naming traditions suggest a ship's expected type.
