When I named the trucks I was just looking for something that was humourous in a tongue in cheek way (to me at least
)
I settled on the name HMS Kylie because Kylie Minogue was a popular figure in UK culture in the 1990's, and I figured the name was something that might appeal to the average sailor stuck in the Plymouth enclave. I decided to assign it to one of the Land Rovers because the Land Rovers are the smallest of the gun trucks and Kylie Minogue is only five feet tall...
Once I'd settled on HMS Kylie, HMS Danni after Kylie's sister, just seemed kinda logical...
(I think most of the other names are fairly obvious - for those unfamiliar with British TV / culture, Baldrick was a character in the Blackadder TV series that ran in the 1980's)
