In the rude names for warships competition at the Admiralty the following came out the winner: HMS Cockchafer. I was wondering if anyone had anything more risqué?


I spent a few days on the HMS Beaver.

I'm a bit late to this party, but I nominate HMS Chuffer - a torpedo magnet of course.

The RN had the colony, town and county class cruisers, so how about a "notable street" class of AMs. Bugis Street? Reeperbahn?

CL Natori have unfortunate outbreak of disease on this cruise. Happened shortly after some of the crew visited a few of the French POWs at Noumea. They are calling it "Regionnaires Disease".

Not if they find out Ginger and Mary Ann are so close by. The Staff better keep their lips sealed on that little secret.

And in a breaking story, the British Natural Environment Research Council decided that letting the internet choose the name of its latest ship was a good idea... and they are now going to name the ship*:

R.S.S. BOATY McBOATFACE!!!

Rumo(u)r is that will use a bottle of Capris Sun instead of champagne to christen this noble vessel...

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/20/eccentric-choices-surface-in-quest-to-name-polar-research-vessel

* After re-reading the Guardian article, it appears that they actually haven't officially bestowed the moniker on the ship yet -- a piece on NPR presented this as a done deal, and i foolishly believed them...

Mary Ann was "nicer". Ginger you want to serve a couple of fermented coconut drinks to.
