NS to change new ship naming convention

Over the last few years NS has used plant names (starting with the same letter) for the majority of new spaceship classes. However this policy will now change after a debate in the NS Poliburo. The supply of possible names is starting to run out and VP (Ops) Torus thinks it is time for the convention to change.

The first class of ship to be named using the new convention will be the Repulse 51B destroyer. Although the lead ship will be called Repulse the other 19 ships will be named after English places which end with -cote!
