Dubious
[edit]I've tagged the reason for naming the ships HMAS Stuart for the explorer John McDouall Stuart as being dubious. According to The Destroyers, by Vic Cassells, the first Stuart was named for the Scottish House of Stuart (p. 106). He implies (but does not state either way) that the other Stuarts was called so to perpetuate the name. The second Stuart may have been named after a Stuart or Stewart River, as the rest of the class are named after rivers. Does anyone have any sources saying more clearly? -- saberwyn 11:52, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- With no response in over a year and a half, I've stripped the claim out completely. -- saberwyn 09:57, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
