Possible Type 83 names and their local ties

Possible naming choices connect future destroyers with the Royal Navy's ties to British places.

Question

What might the Royal Navy name the Type 83 destroyers?

Short answer

The names are unknown; duke or county names are suggested as possibilities.

Notes

Duke names might be reused after the Type 23 class, or the new ships could receive county names. These are possibilities rather than a confirmed naming scheme. Names connected with British places give communities an interest in particular ships. Those ties are also considered an obstacle to later government cuts.
