	Log of HMS Ocean
		HMS Ocean was laid down in 1898, and was a first class battleship of 12,950 tons displacement.
		HMS Ocean took Irresistible in tow, but she also hit a mine and both ships were lost in deep water.
		Having enjoyed thirteen years in service, the rusting remains of HMS Ocean now lie in a watery grave off the southern shore of The Narrows, just to the south of the wreck of HMS Irresistible, who she was trying to rescue.

	William Bligh
		He does not appear in the records again until 27 Jul 1770, when his name was entered on the paysheets of the H.M.S. Hunter, a small sloop mounting only 10 guns, rated as an AB and master's mate.
		This was soon after the death of his mother and the remarriage of his father, and these event may have had something to do with Bligh's re-entry into the Navy.
		At 22, to be appointed sailing master on a major research vessel was a great tribute to his skill and connections.

	HMS Irresistible
		The first vessel to be sent to Gibraltar as a guardship was the Devastation, but her place was to be taken by Irresistible, one of the London class battleships, in 1902.
		She was an exceedingly powerful vessel, and the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean would not allow her to remain at the Rock in idleness, but utilised her as an addition to his squadron.
		The picture shows the Irresistible leaving Portsmouth Harbour, and allows a contrast between her look of stern fighting power with the old time veterans the St Vincent and the Victory and a smart little brig the Martin.

		Probably the most famous minelayer in history is the Turkish Navy's Nusrat, active during the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War.
		Nusrat laid the mines that sank HMS Irresistible, HMS Ocean, and the French battleship Bouvet in the Dardanelles on 18 March 1915.

		The admirals refused to allow their best ships to be used and, apart from the newly built battleship Queen Elizabeth and the battlecruisers Inflexible and Irresistible, most of the ships were old, due for retirement and manned by mostly reserve crews.
		HMS Irresistible was abandoned after hitting another mine and HMS Ocean saw her steering gear destroyed.
		For the first month the fleet had stayed offshore giving supporting shellfire and as the battlefronts were so shallow the sea and its great ships were almost always in sight of the men fighting on land.

		HMS Hood was named after Admiral Horace Hood who was in the Battle of Jutland, so it's likely that Rodney has been named after Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney, a British commander round about the time of the American Revolution.
		HMS Trafalgar is the class sub, of (surprise) the Trafalgar class SSN fleet - and as far as i know they'll still be in service when the new carriers enter service.
		HMS Nelson was a Battleship in WW2 and there was a previous Nelson line of Battleships aswell (though i'm not sure of the dates) so it's allready an associated name with associated battle honours - not really suitable for carriers.

	Formidable Class Battleship - HMS Formidable, Irresistible, Implacable
		Although generally similar in appearance to the Canopus class they can be distinguished from them by the wider spacing of the funnels and by the forward funnel being closer to the foremast.
		HMS Irresistible was one of several British and French old battleships sunk in the failed Dardanelles campaign.
		After striking a mine attempts were made to tow the ship out of the straights but enemy fire, the ship listing too heavily and the ship sent to tow her (HMS Ocean) running aground forced the attempt to be called off.

	Unidentified Men
		I feel however that this is unlikely, as if that were the case his name would probably not have appeared on the War Memorial in 1921.
		Some time ago I received information that William Lawrence was serving in the Royal Navy at the outbreak of war, and was on board HMS Irresistible when she was involved in action at the Dardanelles on March 18th 1915, and subsequently struck a mine and sank in Kephtx Bay.
		It seems almost certain that William Lawrence was in the Royal Navy, that he was probably serving on Irresistible in March 1915, and he did not return home after the war; beyond that, I have not yet been able to discover more concrete facts about his identity.
