HMS Vengeance - I like just how literal it is

Warspite is pretty good. There is great amusement to be had just rooting around Wikipedia looking at lists of obscure Victorian cruisers and their assortment of resonantly imperial names.

More battle honours than you can shake a stick at

I personally always liked the convention of naming ammunition ships after volcanoes.

>>34395238
HMS Dreadnought (even though that name has become a bit cliche)
HMS Warspite
HMS Conqueror (Argies get shrekked)
HMS Invincible (rip)
HMS Indomitable
HMS Ark Royal
HMS Victory
HMS Vanguard
And so on.

I like Onslow. I know it's actually named for the Earl of Onslow but the idea of something dogged, determined, and imperturably and indomitably grinding on against the odds as "On Slow" is an appealing one. It suits too as the WW1 Onslow was badly damaged in Jutland and only just managed to make it back to port in heavy seas after losing its tow multiple times.

HMS vanguard for life

Any bombers know what the two straight panels are on the boat are?

>Indefatigable
Pardon my english here as an american, but isn't it "Infatigable"? Where'd the de- prefix come from?

>>34395238
I don't even know how to pronounce this.

>>34395386
It's too bad that the yanks control those nukes.

>>34395505
at least they havn't had to name any ship in anything welsh.
HMS Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on the horizon Sir!

Excellent! activate Poppity Ping michrodon.

It's still Indefatigable even in your Yankee monkey hoots and shrieks.

No they don't, that's a myth

>>34395491

In-defeat, not in-de-feat. As for why it's defatigable rather than defeatable, it's a holdover from earlier English like how we say "just deserts" instead of "just deserves"

Tridents were shipped to AWE for stripping out & replacement with british parts.

HNoMS Troll is the cutest name.

That's not USS Ticonderoga.

Just say the word 'Ticonderoga'. It's aural sex.

'de' doesn't always indicate a reversal of something. That isn't an irregularity of English, but Latin.

Indefatigable just means, can't be tired.
