"Garrison Hilliard" wrote in message ... Daring launch good news for Clyde By Hayley Millar BBC Scotland business correspondent HMS Daring is the biggest warship ever to launch at the Scotstoun shipyard in Glasgow. [snip] Story from BBC NEWS: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4666906.stm Published: 2006/02/01 16:04:40 GMT Is it a custom in the UK for all ships in a particular class to have names that start with the same letter as the class of ship? Seems to be. "D" class: Daring Dauntless Diamond Dragon Defender Duncan "Dauntless" and "Defender" are proud old names to live up to, each having been borne by a number of British warships over the centuries, I think; perhaps some of the others as well. "Defiant" is another name that belongs in that list; so I imagine there must be a RN vessel by that name currently or recently in commission. -Richard, His Kanubic Travesty -- ================================================== ==================== Richard Hopley Winston-Salem, NC, USA rhopley[at]earthlink[dot]net Nothing really matters except Boats, Sex, and Rock'n'Roll rhopley[at]wfubmc[dot]edu OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters ================================================== ==================== |
