The
DDS have named the forthcoming
Type 63A landing ship class as the
Oceania class. This has raised eyebrows as Oceania was originally a name given to a
Pulsar class cruiser which was destroyed some years ago thus the first ship will actually be called
Oceania II.
Indeed the first 4 ships to be named are all names reused from lost Pulsars. It may be the rest of the fleet will take names from Pulsars which are withdrawn as the Pulsar withdrawal will dovetail with the introduction of the Type 63A from next year.
