Perhaps with the other stuff, but as pointed out above, they've been recycling WWII-era ship names for five decades. I don't think the shift in naming convention has the same significance you seem to think it has.
Which ship-name do you find controversial? More to the point, which ship-name has prompted any protest from any other country?
