Dreadnought naming question

[astewart1802]

This has been bugging me for a while
Dreadnoughts and pre-dreadnoughts are named thus because of Dreadnought.

What if the lead ship of the class was called Warspite or Queens Elizabeth?

Would we have pre queen Elizabeths?
Super-warspites?

Probably. It does sound weird though. Guess we have to thank the RN for not messing up their ship names.
