I believe the idea is that they are the most powerful warships in the navy. Ballistic missiles can wipe out humanity after all. Plus. The deterrent factor makes sense. Dreadnaughts and battleships that followed them were largely built in the hope they wouldn't be used. Hence the treaty system So it's quite apt.

@sadwingsraging3044 i can't think of a more apt name for a machine that can't be found, but can rain the most massive destruction ever devised by man on its enemies. And then slip away, untouched by the enemy. A top of the line missile sub literally dreads nothing. Do you have some examples of the RN using front line assets as toys? I know the navy has a healthy tradition of hi jinx. But that's very much the other side of the coin to a highly professional organisation. If battleship names didn't go to the subs they would only go to less capable and deadly ships. I don't think a type 44 has nothing to fear from anyone somehow 🤣
