Graf Spee - Gryphon Sea
Exeter - Extreme
Arc Royal - Ark Royale
Will think of it some more.
Cumberland - Chamberlain
Reknown - Keeper I would say like Achilles and Ajax.

Vanvlak just suggested Grave Spear (Graf Spee), Rex Aether (Exeter) and Mondovideo (Montevideo). Sounds good to me! 
I liked Gryphon Sea until I saw grave spear. The later has a much higher "chaos factor" in it!  Thanks guys
Xavi

Scuttling, nope. More along the lines of suicide run against the imperial flagship and detonating the plasma reactors afterwards  Bu yes, if this escenario comes up nicely, I might try to develop a 2-5 escenario mini campaign for it.
Regarding names, I will keep "Grave Spear" (Graf Spee) and "Rex Aether" (Exeter) since IMO they sound better here. Falk's Landing sounds great to me. A small planet (colony) for it seems to fit.Idem with Chamberlain.
Great names so far dudes. Thanks a lot
Xavi

You could also make Arc Royal into Arcturus Royale. You could start of the Graf Spee in one of it's raiding sorties, hitting transports and the like. I'd like to do something along the cruiser battles in the South Pacific, especially the area around Iron Bottom Sound.

Hi Xavi,
A few more sugestions (my others had been PMed).
Malvine Islands - Malevolent Islands (name of an asteroid group)
Cape of Good hope - Emperor's Hope Colony
Atlantic ocean - Atlantean rift
Indic Ocean - Indymion rift
cheers

I think this theme would make a great 'historical refight' set of scenarios in the vien of the ones included on Imperial Armour 3...
IE; You play the games not with the intent of changing the outcome of the battle (Because generally in historical refight scenarios that tends to be highly difficult), but with the intent of doing better than the 'historical' ship's captain did.
So the objective becomes 'what turn will the Imperial light-cruisers drive off the Grave Spear by, rather than making every scenario in the campaign a balanced game where either side can win.
