Not really, Asif.
The Queen Elisabeth was also a class of super dreadnought battleships commissioned by England in the nineteen teens. They are generally recognized as the first "fast" battleships, and were the first oil powered (versus coal powered) large battleships. The name, Queen Elizabeth was also meant to be the first in class CV-01 carriers that never materialized. And the name "Elizabeth," for Royal Navy ships goes back to the 1500s. The battleship was the ninth vessel to be named for Elizabeth and the carrier will be the tenth.
The last Prince of Wales was a King George V class battleship in World War II and was of course instrumental in the sinking of the Bismark, but then herself was sunk by the Japanese at the outbreak of the war in the Pacific. The Prince of Wales aircraft carrier will be the eighth HMS Prince of Wales dating back to the 1700s.
So both names have rich, traditions in the Royal Navy.
I was referring to the context of carriers, yes previous ships have been after names of the Royals i am aware of that but never a carrier the CV-01 programme and the names for both those carriers was never confirmed it was possible those would be the names but the project was cancelled no Royal Navy carrier has ever carried these names
There has been a huge push and big debate about the names of both ships to have them changed to something more akin to the RN history in carrier operations but the shameful state of affairs decided otherwise
