If you wanted to use example from the current war, then sinking of Moskva would suit much better. It's literally a flagship of a fleet, with casualties probably up to 400, named after the country's capital, that had cost more than a couple of billion dollars over lifetime, sinked with a drone and a couple of missiles.
- rdevsrex 5y agoNever a good idea to name a ship after your capital or your country. I believe that’s why the battle ship the Bismarck, was named that.
- mormegil 5y agoNot sure about the Bismarck, but the Panzerschiff Deutschland was renamed Lützow because of the risk that "Deutschland" could be sunk. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_Deutschland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_Deutschland
