Anyone willing to place bets on the next naval vessel being named Cathal, as a mark of respect for our dear departed dictator...er I mean former Taoiseach.

are Naval vessels not named after femalesThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Operational ones usually are othes (tugs ect.) are named after males. its on the 1st page of this threadThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Yes. Ton Class Minesweeper. Retired about 84.
Originally posted by Farel'The current policy with the naming of Irish Naval vessels is to name them after Characters in irish Folklore. Operational Ships have been named after Female characters,while the auxiliaries were named after men. Any suggestions for the future ships,if any?
To remind you,the names already used were as follows.
Auxiliaries:
Ferdia
Setanta
Operational
Cliona
Maeve
Macha
Banba
Grainne
Fola
Deirdre
Emer
Aoife
Aisling
(aisling is the only exception so far,not being an actual person but a female vision in one of yeates poetry or something)
Eithne
Ciara
Orla
Roisìn
Niamh
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
