Talk:Laurent Millaudon (steamboat)

Federal rechristening?
It's unusual for a nation to include a vessel in its fleet whose name glorifies the enemy. "Renaming" this one by simply dropping CSA General Price's first name seems odd in the extreme. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? Laodah 23:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
