Cockchafer ended her life as a WRNS accomodation ship. This led to comments.

There was once a HMS Cockchafer... would love to know what the rest of
the class we called....


Insect Class:

Aphis, Bee, Cicada, Cockchafer, Cricket, Glower, Gnat, Ladybird, Mantis,
Moth, Scarab and Tarantula


But a tarantula is not an insect....


True, of course. But I don't think the Admiralty was that concerned (and
besides, "Arthropod class" doesn't sound too good).
