Never 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 4y 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
