it would be nice to see it a 'lucky name' again

Well the last HMS Prince of Wales wasn't very lucky. It was sunk, along with with HMS Repulse, by a Japanese air strike.
Thats my point. Sixty or so years of PoW no 8 bobbing about being a 'Force for Good' would make it a lucky name again, rather than its unfortunate. immediate predecessor.
