True Story - during the SDR debate (doesn't that seem ages ago) George Robertson was told that the French had named a carrier Charles de Gaulle to ensure it wasn't cancelled so ours should obviously be the HMS Tony Blair. His response

"I'd be more confident if it was called the HMS Gordon Brown"

Naff names - lets hope the capability isn't equally derisory
