Is it on the list of honor ?
Is there or will there be a Roland with the name ?

I don't recall if Hawkwing is on the list of honor but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the name was assigned to a new hull in short order anyway. She and her company certainly deserve it.

Just my opinion of course and probably not worth the paper it's not written on.

With all the loses in BoMa and Thunderbolt, the bar to get on the list may have been... lifted slightly. Not to say that shipnames won't be resused, but having 500-1000 names on the list waters down the impact of the honor.

Hawkwing was lost during HAE.
It might have happened shortly thereafter.

Yeah, but 100s of ships were lost in the 1st war. just putting them all on the list would have doubled the list or more. I'm not saying it didn't or shouldn't have made it, just that they might have upped the qualifications for the list after the war started. Only David can tell us if it is there or what the current "requirements" are.
