Meh - indifferent about these ships, but people like what they like.
The overwhelmingly Americentric ship naming theme in this series is really getting on my nerves though.
Yep, Parliament and Vancouver screams Americentric.
With a name like Vancouver, I was expecting the class of the ship would have been the British Columbia-class, rather than the Parliament-class.
Since there's a number of governments around the world that use the Parliament system, not just Canada, then the world's cities would be popping up for that class of ship.

We've seen exactly 1 Parliament class ship, calling it the Helsinki (capital of the Republic of Finland) would have probably confused the audience for no good reason.
