Yes and 'Missouri Metalworks' is not a real steelmaker, and there are plenty of real *American corporations with names just as cool as Rheinmetall: Advanced Micro Devices/AMD, Texas Instruments/Ti, General Dynamics, General Motors/GM, International Business Machines/IBM.
If you bring in defunct ones you get even more: Digital Electronic Corporation/DEC, Standard Oil.
I concede that I missed your Riverine connection between Missouri-Rhine but I think the first guy was focusing on the majesty/exotic-ness of "Rheinmetall" while "Missouri Metalworks" just sounds lame, most likely due to the fact that its fake!
