As to names for the ships ... well <i>Rambeau</i> is an interesting suggestion and rather appropriate.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-89484184023638769272015-01-30T21:43:35.777+00:002015-01-30T21:43:35.777+00:00Interesting beginning!

Actually, to sound like the English 'ram' the first syllable should be 'Rim', but the 'a' seems to fit better for anglophones like us.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
