Pinned post for Q&A :)
Seeing the names of these vessels, I’m kinda disappointed they didn’t go with the name “HMS Gun” 😂
HMS Pennies in a Sock and HMS Grandmother’s Hurled Slipper really should have been commissioned.
I wonder if they considered a shore bombardment version calling it HMS Trebuchet. Now that would be old school.
One of my favorite scenes ever was in Clancy's book Red Storm Rising, where the Perry-class frigate USS Reuben James was queried by her convoy team mate HMS Battleaxe, "What the hell is a Reuben James?". Reuben James' captain had his signalman respond with, "At least we aren't named for our mother-in-law."
HMS "do you want some?", "What are you looking at?" and "did you spill my pint?"
This class has to be the one with the most badass names of all warship classes ever. "battleaxe", "broadsword", "scorpion" and "carronade", come on...
Royal Navy: Let’s name this ship HMS Weapon, before the Americans get ideas and name a ship of their own like that.
Obligatory comment for the algorithm
Broadsword to Danny Boy, Broadsword to Danny Boy, Has my wife kicked the booze yet? Urgent, over.
HMS Board with a nail in it
Master Chief: I need a weapon
"Which ship was involved in a collision?"
Drach: "Working their way down the alphabet..."
Master Chief, defend this island.
Yeah. Leave it to the British to come up with Cool Ship Names.
I'm imagining the HMS Katana with a bunch of anime stickers on the transom.
Crossbow was the Harbour Training Ship for mechanics ( at HMS SULTAN ) berthed in Haslar Creek, Gosport. Until 71/72. Replaced by Diamond. We all used to play about on the Bofors at lunchtimes. Happy Days.
Personally I think this class had some very good names.
Cousins of the lesser known Bandage-class
