Ships names are proposed by the Royal Navy's Ships Names and Badges Committee, for selection by Royal Navy seniors, Ministers and His Majesty The King.
Names are proposed based on many factors, including the history of the Fleet and suitability to the role of the ship being named.
No ship currently in build will bear the name HMS Blencathra, however this does not preclude the name being chosen in future should it be suitable.
