HMS Regulus
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Four vessels of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Regulus, after the star:
- HMS Regulus was a wooden fifth rate of 44 guns, launched at Northam in January 1785 and converted to a troopship in 1793. Because Regulus served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 2 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants.[1] The ship was broken up in March 1816.
- HMS Regulus was the French privateer Regulus that HMS Princess Charlotte captured in December 1804; it is not clear that she ever served and she was last listed in 1806.
- HMS Regulus was a Rainbow-class submarine launched at Barrow-in-Furness in June 1930 and lost in December 1940, possibly sunk by a mine near Taranto, Southern Italy.[2][3]
- HMS Regulus was an Algerine-class minesweeper launched at Toronto in September 1943. Originally to have been called HMCS Longbranch,[2] the ship was sunk in January 1945 by a mine off Corfu.[4]
