HMS Argyll

Several ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Argyll after the region of Argyll in Scotland. Her motto is ne obliviscaris (lest we forget).

HMS Argyll (1722), a 50-gun fourth-rate ship of the line, launched in 1650 as the 38-gun President, renamed HMS Bonadventure in 1660, rebuilt four times and renamed HMS Argyll in 1715. She was sunk in 1748 as a breakwater.
HMS Argyll (1904), a Devonshire-class armoured cruiser commissioned in 1905. She ran aground on the Bell Rock at the head of the Firths of Forth and Tay in 1915.
HMS Argyll (F231), a Type 23 Duke-class frigate commissioned in May 1991. She has been involved in a number of deployments, most successfully during the Sierra Leonean Civil War in 2000 including Operation Barras, and Operation Telic IV in the Persian Gulf from February–August 2005.

gollark: Fear it:

gollark: (Taiwan holds basically all leading edge semiconductor production and I believe a lot of the older stuff. Invading could physically damage it in hard to fix ways, and would probably lead to the loss of most of the people working on it and their knowledge; even ignoring this, it relies on materials from elsewhere which could be cut off. Basically everyone needs the chips produced by TSMC, and if they just stopped existing so would... roughly all consumer electronics for several years.)
