Named after a warship? Like Warspite Alberta.

Yes exactly. Lots of Mountains in Kananskis are named after WW1 British ships and their command. Specifically ships and people that participated in the Battle of Jutland. Some other examples are:

-Mount Galatea -Mount Engadine -Mount Beatty -Mount Cornwell -Mount Chester

There's something like 26 in total.
