If I throw some headings into the ring, could someone tell me if they are suitable for a Corvette, and if so, throw me some names suitable for each heading

KLM zerstorers are apparently named after prominent people.
So I expect I'll probably see names like Princess Inge, King Christian, and Archduke Ferdinand in addition to ones we already know- like the Otto and whatever the one in the campaign was called.

My Lohengrin is the Wolfhund. Or, if I feel like it, the Hollehund.
We are going to be able to have a name decal on the bow of our ships in MP, right?
Might be nice to have an online ship registry, too. So nobody copycats and nobody can just enter something lewd into the SHIP NAME field.

No need to apologise - that is exactly the kind of creative roleplaying required if you want to build up a "persona" for your captain/ship inside a taskforce buxton:
