The first reformation and major expansion of the Navy Royal, as it was then known, occurred in the 16th century during the reign of Henry VIII whose ships, Henri GrĂ¢ce a Dieu ("Great Harry") and Mary Rose, engaged the French navy in the battle of the Solent in 1545.

In other words, when one ship is retired or lost at sea, or whatever, the name of that ship is put back on the available "names list" for new ships being built.
As to why the name Beagle was selected for Darwin’s ship, I do not know, but it is likely that the name Beagle just happened to be the next name available on the list when the ship was completed.
Thirty-one of the Cherokee class ships were made into packet ships (used to deliver mail and goods to the colonies and other ships), ten as ship tenders, six into the survey service, and the rest were cruisers.
