Speaking of funny ship names, HMS Cockchafer. Old British Gunship as part of the Insect Class Gunships.
I believe this naming practice has been retired....since ships not quite pictured was HMS Cricket, HMS Glowworm AND HMS Cicada..
She was armed originally, 2 × BL 6 inch Mk VII, 2 × 12 pdr. guns and 6 × .303 British Maxim guns in 1916, but she was rearmed with modern weapons in 1938. Interesting design, very usual names her and classmates.
She her most notable actions was in occupied China in 1926, where a British merchant ships were being captured by a local warlord named General Yang in what was called the Wanhsien District. The ship was part of squadron of British ships, and soldiers attempting get the ships back and stop the General. They succeeded but there were causalities.
It's interesting dig on the ship i look up randomly. :)
