The Brits got one name perfect: HMS DREADNOUGHT. Not only is the name pretty cool, but she is considered not just the lead ship for a class in the Royal Navy, but every battleship afterwards was compared to her.
Battleships in World War I and beyond are classified as pre-DREADNOUGHT or as a 'Dreadnought'.
The Dreadnoughts were so expensive that the resulting arms race to build these ships resulted in the Washington Navy Treaty which placed limits on how many of each ship each country could have.
Pretty freakin' impressive when you build the ship that becomes the standard world wide and results in international treaties!
I would like to think that the Nimitz class sets a similair standard. Right now the PLAN, Japanesse Navy and the Royal Navy are all considering building a super carrier.
When a country considers building them, there is only one place to go, the U.S. Recently a delegation from China visited North Island to get a tour of one of the CVNs that was in port.
