You'll run out way too soon. Extend it to all mythological figures.

> Ypres Class Battlecruisers - French cities

WWI Battles, more likely.

> Bonaparte Class Battledreadnoughts - French generals

Napoleon Bonaparte was an Emperor. Not a mere General. Try Heads of State.

> Jeanne D'Arc Class Fleet Carriers - Female leaders, primarily French

Probably have to expand it a bit--that's a little narrow.

Comment, I have resisted getting into this but...

To many people have left out the most famous and widespread class
of all FT/MT ships:

Bree, Romano, Parmisan, Blue, Cream, Chedder, Jack, Edam, the list is almost
unlimited.

Having had word, so many times, of 'cheese' ships I just couldn't resist.

I am not sorry.

Bye for now,
