HMS Blake

Four ships of the British Royal Navy have carried the name HMS "Blake" in honour of Admiral Robert Blake who was, until eclipsed by Horatio Nelson, the most famous British admiral.

* The first "Blake", launched in 1808, was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line. She was sold in 1816.

* The fourth "Blake" (C99), launched in 1945 (but not completed until 1961) was a "Tiger"-class guided missile cruiser. She was scrapped in 1982.
