the Tribal-class destroyers had names of indigenos peoples - Eskimo, Ashanti, Cossack, Zulu etc and the Flower-class corvettes - Convolvulous, Blubell, Compass Rose etc. Others, as stated had a letter like the qouted G-Class destroyers Grenage & Glowworm.
Glowworm might not have had an auspicious name, but she was the ship that purposely rammed the German cruiser Hipper. She laid a line of smoke and doubled-back behind it. The Hipper sliced through the smoke only to find Glowworm in its starboard side. The rest is history. So was Glowworm.
George, out..........
