I did know there was an HMS Plymouth, not least because she was part of the Task Group that took yours truly to Australia and the Far East back in the 70s, when it was still fun to be in the Navy. Rothesay class frigate, twin 4.5" turret forward, mortars and a Wasp helicopter on the back, SeaCat missiles for air defence. But the Naval barracks in Plymouth is called HMS Drake ..... sorry, I digress

Has anybody seen our ship
The H.M.S. Disgusting?
We've three guns aft and another one fore
And they've promised us a funnel for the next world war
Heave ho, me hearties
The quarter-deck needs dusting
We had a binge last Christmas year
Nice plum pudding and a round of beer
But the captain pulled his cracker and we cried, "Oh, dear!"
Has anybody seen our ship?
