I was wondering what name my ship should have in the musical Im writing.
Set in World War Two, its a fairly unrealistic comedy and the ship is setting off from England to the US.
(Of coarse it gets threghtened by a German U-Boat and is forced to France, but thats another story.)
Any ideas on ship names that might work?

Call it the HMS Calamady. :P

Seriously, we kind of need a leeeeeeeeeeeeeetle bit more information in order to help. Is it a warship, passenger ship or cargo ship? Is it a destroyer, cruiser, frigate, battleship pr corvette? Is it a mine layer, anti aircraft ship or Uboat hunter?

If it's a warship, some suggestions are: HMS Nelson (destroyer), HMS Indefatigable (Battleship), HMS Nestor, HMS Mary, HMS Loche etc. There you go!

If you're still going and it's about a convoy and it's a musical why not use a flower name? Seriuosly, the most numerous RN convoy escorts were the Flower class corvettes ...pick any suitable name and there probabaly was an HMS Buttercup, Bluebell or whatever. If you want a real one then google Flower class corvettes and look through the list.

There was never a Bluebell, far as I'm aware. That would be a little bit rediculous. In order to keep a tone of seriousness, you don't want to go naming all your ships after rediculous flowers (though HMS Rosemary was a distinguished ship, as was the Buttercup, like rogerjohn said.) Generally good idea, though.
