Original Note:
The 7th Astute class submarine was supposed to be called HMS Agincourt after the famous British victory in 1415 and dramatised in Shakespeare's play 'Henry V', but has now been renamed to HMS Achilles reportedly for fear of offending the French. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/article/navy-bosses-rename-hms-agincourt-to-avoid-annoying-the-french-tvp73bhjf
