It will be interesting to see what Bolthole Specials are like once they start to enter service; I wonder who will get the lead ship and what it will be named.
With Haven building them... probably the Javier Giscard, if there isn't already one. As for who gets the first one, I suspect the assortment of senior flag officers will want to keep their current flagships(consider that Hamish commanded Buttercup from an old-style SD, plus Tourville and Henke retaining their BC flagships), so it probably winds up under a 'mid-range' Havenite. Oliver Diamoto, perhaps?
Each component of the GA will probably name the class differently, after the first ship they take delivery of.
Actually, universally naming the class after Jack McBryde might deliver an interesting message.

Perhaps you would prefer some other name? Mindful of one of the more exotic ship names of the 19th century Russian Imperial Navy Black Sea Fleet, perhaps one might imagine the Sonja and Shannon, named after the designers who worked together 24/7 even waking each other up to evolve the design?
