I dont think its a good idea to name an American warship after any monarchs
Diana was a Princess but not a monarch - the Queen allowed her to keep the title as mother of
a potential future monarch.

Neals tease is not far off the mark given Americas historical 'resistance' to monarchy. The divorced Diana
was almost anti-establishment.

However its unlikely that the USA, or the UK for that matter would adopt her name for 'military' purposes
in view of her high profile opposition to the use of landmines......................................... .........but Canada, who knows.
Only teasing.
