    Sure we might be a total irrelevance globally, but at least we get to be a microcosm for the subsumption of the British Empire into the American one

      I feel like America would just think “Aww, that’s sweet - they named their submarines after former Prime Ministers” if they had any awareness of Australia (they don’t).

      I vote for naming them after Benedict Arnold and Julius & Ethel Rosenberg or something. I’d want it to make the designations sting every time an American has to say their names.
