That is pretty much why the German navy stopped using the names of humans for their ships and used states, cities, constellations and animals (for fast attack ships) there.
The Lütjens class (formerly Charles F Adams class of the US Navy) was the last such ship, naming the three ships after:
Lütjens|Admiral of the Kriegsmarine, died with the Bismarck.
Mölders|Pilot of the Luftwaffe and Legion Condor, possibly involved in Guernica.
Rommel|Nazi general and self-declared desert fox.
Really a shame, that right after the first phase of denazification, former Nazi officers in NATO clothes had been permitted to celebrate their former comrades. This should never have happened in first place.
