How would the panel react if a Type 83 destroyer were named Warspite?
Short answerVery positively, but only after the still-conceptual programme actually produces a ship to name.
NotesA future Type 83 destroyer would suit the name Warspite. Such a surface combatant would match the name's active fighting tradition better than a ballistic-missile submarine. Britain was discussing the Type 83 but had not begun building one, so naming speculation remains conditional on the programme producing real hulls rather than only concepts and announcements.
