Renamed for different reason?

[edit]

The infobox states that the ship was renamed Peresvet after being bought back from the Japanese. However, it is then said to be named for the Battle of Chesma, not the original person for which it was named. It's named for something whose name it does not share, and not for the original namesake? How is this possible? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:03, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
