What naming scheme would have suited the Tiger Cub cruisers built after the Minotaur-class armored cruisers?
Short answerThe Royal Navy would probably continue established third-rate and county naming traditions while avoiding the ill-fated name Captain.
NotesThe projected Tiger Cubs would probably continue established third-rate or county naming traditions. Captain is suggested and then questioned because of the reputation left by the lost turret ship. Several earlier vessels had carried that name, including ships originally launched under other names, so the objection concerns its associations rather than an absence of precedent. County names remain the preferred expectation. The joking description of Captain as cursed is a judgment about naming, not a formal prohibition.
