Default Things Named After The Current Queen

I do not know much about the present Queen. I know she was born in
Mayfair because I have seen the building. I was wondering how many things
in England have been named after that woman, and I was surprised at how
many it was. Is it general obsequiousness that causes this? They do the
same thing in North Korea.

I dare say some of those without an explicit II may have been named after
previous Queen Elizabeths. In any case, she's been monarch for well over 60
years, and a lot of stuff has been built in thst time.

And, is the new HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier not on the list?
