UK to Change Name for 7th Astute Class Sub

Former Defense Ministers call it “Woke Nonsense”

The Seventh Astute-class boat originally designated as ‘Agincourt’ will now be christened as “Achilles”. The original Agincourt name would have made the submarine the sixth Royal Navy ship to honor the great English Victory of October 1415, at Agincourt, France. Sir Gavin Williamson, the Defense Secretary who signed the contract for Agincourt in 2018, said “Next, they will probably want to rename HMS Queen Elizabeth for fear the Spaniards might be upset about the Armada”. Retired Rear-Admiral Chris Parry (retired) said it was a case of “…Political correctness and ideology gone mad”.
