      This prevents stupidly inappropriate names.
      That's exactly how it works. You open up the Naming Menu and a name (randomly generated from a database list ) is in there already, you have the option of modifying it and making it personal.

      There will be some who make a conscious choice to be improper, and they should be dealt with appropriately. That should not rob the rest of the folks their freedoms or range of options, should it?

      But what if I have a good name - e.g., I always name my Japanese ships after pre-dreadnoughts Mikasa, Asahi, etc. - that nonetheless gets cancelled by that?
      Also what about countries without navies?

    • I'd think they'd have some trouble coming up with names for Ma Clique battleships)))
      When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.

      Could be named after Chinese battleships.
      Has China made any battleships? They bought two from Germany in the 1880s.

      Well they were in the middle of a civil war... you usually don't need any battleships in those. But this is a presumption.
