I think we can all do with a laugh to lift our spirits and distract us for a minute or two from our various ailments and pain. I have seen this before, so some of you have probably seen it too, but hopefully there will be many who haven't seen it.

Oh! Well maybe it isn't true then, although I was told it was, but the internet is full of these 'true stories', so ??? It gave me a giggle anyway. Hope you enjoyed it.
Six ships and a shore establishment of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Britannia, after Britannia, the goddess and personification of Great Britain:
HMS Britannia (1682) was a 100-gun first rate ship of the line launched in 1682, rebuilt in 1719 and broken up in 1749.
HMS Britannia (1762) was a 100-gun first rate launched in 1762. She was renamed HMS Princess Royal in 1812, HMS St George later in 1812, and HMS Barfleur in 1819. She was broken up in 1825.
HMS Britannia (1820) was a 120-gun first rate ship of the line launched in 1820. She was a training ship after 1859, and broken up in 1869.
HMS Prince of Wales (1860), a 120-gun first rate ship of the line renamed Britannia in 1869, as she replaced the previous vessel in the cadet training role. She was broken up in 1916.
HMS Britannia (1904) was a King Edward VII-class pre-dreadnought battleship launched in 1904 and sunk by UB-50 in 1918.
HMS Britannia was the name given to the Naval Shore Establishment formed from the earlier Britannias. It retained the name until 1953, when it became known as HMS Dartmouth.
You have been doing your research!! That's very interesting that there were a few Britannia's centuries ago, but none in recent times, so its not a true story, but still funny.
We have just cracked up huggs. Don't care if it is true or not, its so funny. Made our day. Unlike most jokes this is at the expense of the English, not the Irish.
