Yeah, but you also did “Dreadnought” and then slapped that name on a ship so fucking awesome that all battleships that came after it had to be called dreadnoughts.

It didn't help that the US named everything "M-Number" and gave multiple pieces of equipment the same numbers. Oh, you want an M1? Did you mean the M1 Garand rifle, the completely unrelated M1 carbine rifle, an M1 Thompson gun, an M1 flamethrower, an M1 helmet, or an M1 light tank? Oh, you want an M1 tractor? Cool, which kind?

Confederate Generals. Brits know a sly dig.
Edit. Learn your history The Lee and Stuart tanks were named by the British prior to the deployment of the Grant and Sherman.

Sherman was a Union general.
JohnDunstable t1_j9fod41 wrote
But first the UK named the Stuart and the Lee. Then the Grant and the Sherman.

Surely everyone should know by now that the UK is the best at naming stuff. Challenger, starstreak, spitfire, hurricane, bulldog, warrior, rapier, sky sabre, Trojan, titan, fury, Vulcan and so on 😁
