I was so upset when Alistair and Banshee died. was worse then Rastar in We Few and that hurt so much!

There has to be someone left who would be worthy but apart from Abigial i'm stumped as to who. they are all too senior, if alive.

really that should have been Rafe cardones first command instead of werewolf. or Scotty Tremaine's once he left the LACs

That said, Tremaine is a cruiser captain right now. You don't think he'd jump ship to Fearless III in a heartbeat? I would just to honor my and HH's battle dead.

I’ll leave him detailed instructions about what to do if any interesting little messages should happen to arrive from other resistance movements we didn’t realize we were supporting.”

Quibble: Cruiser division, not squadron. Admiral Henke speaking to Commodore Terekhov:

Boldface is my emphasis.

So, where's Ship of the List, HMS Fearless III? is it a Sag-C? Not on anyone's radar? or just keep it with CA-286, retired for honorary purposes like HMS Courageous, or...

I think we should let Honor, Tremaine, Sonja, and Foraker get together for a design confab, maybe built just in time for a certain rapidly progressing Grayson-born RMN officer to take command, and do the ship justice.

Thoughts?

[by the way... tried to look up something like this on previous threads... never came up with an effective enough search!]

It happens in multiple navies

the original Enterprise was a Revolutionary Sloop of War. By the time of the TR's Great White Fleet, the name was assigned to an armored cruiser (ACR). Last two Enterprises were CV6 and CVN65.

In most cases the tonnage / size creep goes up
