Speculation has already started as to the other three boat's names; I've already heard a wide range of classics like Warspite, Revenge, Fearless, Intrepid, Indomitable, Implacable, Indefatigable, Hood, Nelson, Victory, ... you get the drift. Suggestions on a post card please to the MOD(N), London! (kidding!)

I still want them to rename Prince of Wales to Ark Royal, not least because her pennant number will be R09, but if it was going to happen it would have to be no later than her launching. Once a ship has been officially 'Named' by her sponsor and the champagne bottle broken over the bow, it's rare to change after that.
HMS Chiddingfold (M37), RFA Lyme Bay (L 3007) & USS Devastator (MCM 6)

I've been searching for a while now and can't find those figures anywhere. I'll keep looking, but it's a little strange that all the official publications seem to have glossed over those statistics. Perhaps since they are being built in South Korea it falls under the umbrella of 'commercially sensitive', but I can't be sure.
