Definitely

You forgot all the His Majesty's Ships

Invincible Illustrious Formidable Etc.

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.

Rodney

M-number

Oof. Too soon.

Parts are seldom compatible between M1's

There were some ones we didn't excel in naming though...

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.

Spanker is an awesome name, you got spanked lol

Spready Mercury

One of their first was named for General Mark V, Fifth of his name.
