Probably even more than four....😁
Here is one which you may have felt uncomfortable serving on. HMS Crash. 2 of that name although the second was originally HMS Scourge later renamed Crash
HMS Cockchafer
HMS Fairy
HMS Pansy
HMS Blossom, HMS Bustard and one which is very current HMS Barnard Castle
Churchill had more luck at naming submarines, aptly calling a T-class sub HMS Tiptoe for its ability to sneak up on the enemy undetected. It also made for a beautiful badge of a tiptoeing ballerina in a pink tutu.
This one is being assigned to one of our new subs being commissioned in 2024 no doubt there will be moans about this
Battle of Agincourt
Not to good on tip toeing though. Two collisions with other ships and ran agound in the Firth of Clyde.Quote:
