I must be from another planet: to me, the endless re-use by navies world-wide of the same ship names brings only negative connotes: old farts, past-oriented, unable to find a modern motivating name, harping on the same worn-out "tradition" meme because they can't create new motivators, old stick-in-the-mud always crapping in the same pot, this kind of things.But then I'm no fan of marching-in-parade or Gunny sarge either. The armies that focus of tradition, medals and the like are missing the point IMO. Oh well.On a tangent, to illustrate the point: Those men were both Chief of staff in 2017. Which one would you follow in a war? The para who has led commando raids against terrorists, or the operetta stud who hasn't ever fought in first line but carries a breastful of trinkets?
