The trend for not exactly terrifying names continues. The last of the Type 45 destroyers to be launched will be called HMS.........Duncan.

All ships in the class named D-something. Typical RN lack of imagination. That might have been the sensible thing to do when Brittania ruled the waves, and there were hundreds of ships to name.

It's a pity there's not another ship in the class yet to be named. It could have been called "Disorderly".
