		HMS Hood was named after Admiral Horace Hood who was in the Battle of Jutland, so it's likely that Rodney has been named after Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney, a British commander round about the time of the American Revolution.
		HMS Trafalgar is the class sub, of (surprise) the Trafalgar class SSN fleet - and as far as i know they'll still be in service when the new carriers enter service.
		HMS Nelson was a Battleship in WW2 and there was a previous Nelson line of Battleships aswell (though i'm not sure of the dates) so it's allready an associated name with associated battle honours - not really suitable for carriers.
