Possibly.
The thing that actually inspired it was your description of Kessler's French Foreign Legion service, which I can't now find. That resonated with the WWI German navy, who likewise found themselves fighting for a state that didn't understand them. Their ship name prefix (like USS or HMS) was SMS for "Seiner Majestät Schiff," which is German for " "His Majesty's Ship." And 'Special Monster Service' fitted that.
