More details from petition creator

One of the greatest forms of civic pride that a town or city can possess is to have one of Her Majesty's ships being named after it. Throughout British Naval history every major British town or city has received this honour, except the historic and important city of Wolverhampton. Of all the current 66 cities in the United Kingdom only five cities have never had the honour and, in addition to Wolverhampton, include the Northern Irish cities of Armagh, Lisburn and Newry and the English cathedral city of Ely.

We implore the "Ships' Names and Badges Committee" (SNBC) to recommend HMS Wolverhampton as a name for a suitable ship at the earliest opportunity.
