The ESU is more likely to name a boat "The Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II"
before it names it after that villian.

It would be like naming a USN ship the USS Rosenberg.

Hehe agreed, but doesn't the classification as a villain depends on the eyes
that see it..?

You're probably right, but it's a cool name nontheless:)

So.. new name:
FT-252 ESU Strikeboat   Korolev

Well, given that there was, IIRC, an "Adolf Hitler" division and a "Stalin"
tank design, I'm forced to say that you have a point. But let's not name them
after villains.

Also, you suggested:
FT-243 ESU Light Carrier (CVL)      Zhengsheng class (Righteous
victory)
FT-237 New Escort Cruiser           Mingsheng class (Clear victory)

It seems likely that they'd have Ming Sheng as a ship within the Zheng Sheng
class of ships, rather than being a separate class.

LOL - well we are stretching my knowledge of Chinese anyway, but I tend
to agree with you.. That's the problem with doing these things while working..
you keep getting disturbed doing important stuff...

The ESU would not name their ships after a deranged mystic with
delusions of godhood.  But a Stalin-class ship is possible.

In a possible reaction to the creation of the Romanov Hegemony, there are
voices in the ESU that seem bent on 'rehabilitating' the 'monk' in an apparent
effort to create a new homegrown covert, subversive element in the downfall of
the monarchy in the first place.

I doubt seriously they will be successful enough to overcome opposition in the
scholar community enough to get a bridge, much less than a class of ships, so
named, but stranger history revisions have happened.
