HMS Ulysses

Four British Royal Navy ships have been called HMS "Ulysses":

* "Ulysses", 44, a fifth rate 887 ton ship launched in 1779 and sold in 1816
* "Ulysses" was briefly the name of a destroyer, launched on 18 August 1913, and renamed to "Lysander " on 30 September 1913.
* "Ulysses", a modified R-class destroyer launched in 1917 and sunk in a collision in 1919
* ""Ulysses"", a World War II U-class destroyer launched in 1943 and, following reclassification as a frigate in 1953, sold for scrap in 1979.

HMS "Ulysses" was also the name of a fictional light cruiser in a novel of the same title by Alistair MacLean
