The eight destroyers will take the homes of former destroyers or light cruisers according to an alphabeti cal sequence.

Similarly, the sumbarines of the Navy are now being allotted old frigate names beginning with the same initial letter. The 1926 vessels wore the "0" se, those of 1927 theclass, and now those of 1928 are to be the "R" class. The ene submarine a Chatham will be the Rainbow..

in the Channel. This is apparently the first time his name has been borne.by a ship-of-war.

From the antiquarian point of view, perhaps the most interesting selection is that of the name of Regent, which dates back to 1187; when it was borne by a vessel of 600 tons. built on the River Rother to the order of Henry VII

Her sides were lined with wooden shields of various colours. and adorned with coats of arms and deying, and the favourite Tudor colours of white and green flew out in the standards and streamers. What a contrass to the appearance of the new submarine which" is now to bear the name.

was also built in 1894, and she war record of this name includes the expedition to Quebec in 1739.

Penzance as a shipaaie goes back to 1099, but has apparently been cut of use for more than a century. Fulkestone, on the other hand, dat- ing from 1726, was borne during the Inst War hy a British fice: sweeper. which was originally a South Eastern and Chatham Rail-

way steamer.

The submarine names have a varied association. Rainbow has aiready been mentioned as a cruiser name, and another such is Royalist, which was borne by a light cruiser at"Jutland. Rover recalls the days of the old corvettes in the Training tium period in the early seventies, Squadron, and Rupert the transi when it was borne by a turret abip. There was also a Prince Rupert monitor during the late War. Falcon is a very old name in the Savy, dating back to 1546, and has been borne almost continuously since by several ships of stall classes.

Curiously enough, the last was a destroyer, whereas the name is now appropriated for a gunboat, evi- dently beenuse earlier gunboats had singed the King of Spain's heard.been given the names of birds.
