Duplicate Chathams in 1790? edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Is it likely that the RN would have two four-gun Chathams in 1790? Perhaps this is an error in the article. rewinn 06:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

No error, they're both listed in J. J. Colledge. Overlapping ship names in the same period were not uncommon. Benea (talk) 00:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Namesake edit

Seems dubious that all of these were named after the town or shipyards when Earls of Chatham served as prime minister and as first lords of the Admiralty. — LlywelynII 22:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
