The ABBAY WONZ was launched as MENGISTU H.M.

I recall from somewhere he was the President (or whatever) of Ethiopia who fell out of favour while the ship was fitting out!

Mengistu Haile Mariam see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mengistu_Haile_Mariam

Well he remained in power ... and became President ... long after his ship was renamed! But I'm sure there was some political reason for it?
