Battleships - Travis
Something I did ages ago and I still find amusing. This was originally posted I on my MSN space.
The below are all real ship names of royal navy ships past or present. Some of them you just have to ask "What were they thinking?". I have ranked them from 10 to 1.
10: HMS Flirt - So many jokes, where to begin!
9: HMS Pickle - Just bizzare! I mean it doesn't exactly sound impressive does it.
8: HMS Mischief - We must be the laughing stock of the world...
7: HMS Lucifer - Is it really a good idea to name a ship after the devil?
6: HMS Badminton - If you're are going to name a boat after a sport how about anything else!
5: HMS Truant - Prompting fate a bit there aren't you?
4: HMS Batman - Do they shine a big boat shape in the sky when this one goes to war?
3: HMS Rainbow - This is what happens when you let the navy name their own boats.
2: HMS Pink - You'd have thunk they'd learned after HMS Rainbow!
1: HMS Tally-Ho - Cool name huh? I can hardly believe it's true.
Britania rules the waves!
