If they are not gonna name it after Gary Mitchell then they certainly won't name it after someone as evil as a Starfleet Admiral
But Gary was evil.

But Gary was evil.
Has there been even a mention of the Treaty Of Algeron as regards to Federation cloaks?
Like, it was assumed to be null once the Romulans reunited with the Vulcans on "Ni'Var" and the treaty clearly states "Romulan".
Nope.
It was signed 879 years earlier and between the Federation and a power that no longer exists: the Romulan Star Empire. My guess is the Treaty of Algeron ceased to be a legally-enforced document sometime after 2387.
Riker invokes it in the PIC Season 1 finale. So I think it was just transferred to the Romulan Free State. Or there's a new treaty with the same name.
The Treaty of So Long Losers! some deep cynics may refer to.
And Starbase Numberwang
The treaty has gone back to its original purpose, which was a supplement to the Federation ban on genetic engineering that also bans surgical augmentation of humanoid and mice intelligence. They also added an extra "n" in there.
Yeah. And Section 31 was created by the Rats of NIMH. Go figure...
probably even before that. In the All Good Things timeline the romulan star empire no longer exist and federation ships use cloaks, however on Picard it seem that the treaty is still in effect, but the romulans still have some sovereign space.
I would lean towards it not being as much connected to the Romulan empire collapsing or the Romulans settling on Vulcan as much as the combined Ni'Var being a Federation member that may have nullified the treaty, or at least parts of it.
Also, it's not like he was a Kirk or Spock or Picard or Sisko or Janeway or Archer or April or Pike or Georgoux or Decker or Garth or Tryla Scott or Calhoune or Riker or Kira or Odo or Worf or Data or McCoy or Scotty or Cochrane or Dax or Sulu or Harriman or Garrett or Neil Armstrong or Surak or Shran or T'pou or Gorkon or Albert Einstein or any of the other larger than life figures we see ships named after. He was a Lt Commander who likely had a very good service record before dying young.
The whole point of Nhan was Vance giving Rillak a carrot so she would back off. Vance trusted Burnham to get the job done without any supervision and felt that she didn't need it.
It is mostly likely a tribute to actor Kenneth Mitchell, the regular Disco guest actor who is now severely stricken with ALS

I'd also worry about 32nd century Starfleet being infatuated with eight/nine hundred year old characters as stretching credibility somewhat. Today we don't tend to name ships after thirteenth century people anywhere near as much as those from the last one hundred years.
I wouldn't. Starfleet is undergoing a renaissance of a kind and is looking to it's history for inspiration. People still look to Socrates, Plato, and Marcus Aurelius for inspiration.
I think the only ship we've seen named after an in-universe post-20th century character is the USS Nog?
And the Archer space dock.
