It's unusual for a nation to include a vessel in its fleet whose name glorifies the enemy. "Renaming" this one by simply dropping CSA General Price's first name seems odd in the extreme. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? Laodah 23:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

If I remember correctly, it was a way of mocking their opponents, the ship having been captured in battle. I think the David D. Porter book is most likely to give the actual answer. PAR (talk) 05:03, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
