  3. There’s a Forces article entitled “From HMS Cockchafer to HMS Pansy: Why would you call a ship that?!” For all of his accomplishments, Winston Churchill was perhaps not best known for his judgement in the naming of ships, having once been adamant that HMS Pitt would be a fitting title for a battleship. HMS Cherub definitely makes the list.

  5.  @michaelholt8590 The flower class was just a bad idea. It’s crazy they had a ship named HMS pansy because I was going to joke they might have well named it HMS Pansy. Didn’t know there had actually been one named Pansy.

  6. My son doesn’t get his supper until he’s watched a Drach video. His dessert? Another Drach video.

  7.  @AWMJoeyjoejoe There are more than enough cool or intimidating moves, but this was a different time. It was such a rougher time, but unlike today, they didn’t seem overly concerned with coming up with cool names. lol
