Duchess van Limburg, because i life in Limburg, you could have them named after these: Titels Nederlandse koninklijke familie, of course name them after high ranking nobles not the lower once. So Sint Paulus-Class: Hr. B. Ms. Viamao Nice and good names, but i wonder why the Sint Paulus class has a ship named after a municipality in the empire of Brazil. |

Yes, ITL the Dutch nobility has been losing influence in the last decades but they still remain an influental force in national politics because they are often Rich and hold important functions in their local community. |
