Shall we talk about ship names? This whole non-story is a tiresome dog whistle. History is full of examples of ship names being changed prior to completion, because classes get reduced in number, something gets sunk in action, etc. But that’s not as much fun as waving the “woke” flag obviously.

In general, I don't think South Korea should name all its ships in such a way as to aggravate feelings against Japan, and I don't think Japan should name its ships in such a way as to provoke China, such as Kaga and Izumo.
Achilles is a much better name!
Of course it was really a civil war between various factions of French nobility!
