| 説明 | It is somewhat amusing to see that this ship which was built in the UK is listed in UK publications as being the “LE SAMUEL BECKETT" which will no doubt lead most readers to conclude that it is a French rather than an Irish Navy Ship. Of course everyone in Ireland knows that The “LÈ Samuel Beckett” was named by Caroline Murphy, a niece of Samuel Beckett, in Dublin this weekend alongside the Samuel Beckett Bridge.Until 2014, all Naval Service vessels were named with traditional Irish female names, taken from history and Celtic mythology. However, the two newest in the fleet, the LÉ Samuel Beckett (commissioned 17 May 2014) and the LÉ James Joyce (to be commissioned in 2015) take their names from Irish literary figures. The ship prefix LÉ stands for Long Éireannach, "Irish ship" in the Irish language. Many authors and artists have objected to the new ships being named after literary figures such as Joyce and Beckett who were effectively disowned by the the Irish State. “Neil Jordan was the first cultural figure to object. In his letter to The Irish Times, he writes: “I am organising a roll call of writers and artists who will refuse to have weaponised naval systems named after them.” The Department of Defence replied (defensively) that naming ships after “world-renowned literary figures” would “facilitate greater recognition” for the Naval Service “in the international maritime domain”. |
