NotesThe suggested Tribal-class names for the Type 31 frigates are Eskimo, Cossack, Nubian, Ashanti, Gurkha, and Sikh. Each would carry the operational memory of earlier destroyers into a new class. A later answer notes that the Type 31 programme might instead revive county names because the Type 26 frigates already use city names. Royal Navy naming traditions compete and recur across generations of ships.
