D'you think the Germans might get a bit pissed off if we named our next Destroyer 'Dresden'? Just a thought.
I mean if you're looking to get offended they appear to have named a lot of the ships in their current fleet after Admirals and Pirates who fought against the British, e.g. Forbin, Jean Bart, and Surcouf. It's as if they don't care what we think.
