Hmm. It's awfully hard for me to say since I don't have the context.. It doesn't sound crazy to me, though. I think it depends on the kinds of feelings associated with the ship, if it'll remind people of that. If it gives people, more than anything, the warm fuzzies about national heroism and mercy, pretty much universally (instead of reminding them of wartime and tragedy) I'd say it's okay.. especially since it's also a geographic name, which is usually a nice thing.

It's a bit long, also - four syllables usually needs a nickname, in my experience anyway.
