HMS Cardiff
Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Cardiff, after the Welsh capital city, Cardiff:
- HMS Cardiff (1652) was a 34-gun ship, previously the Dutch ship Fortune. She was captured in 1652 by HMS Tiger (1647) and was sold in 1658.
- HMS Cardiff (D58) was a C-class light cruiser launched in 1917 and broken up in 1946.
- HMS Cardiff (D108) was a Type 42 (Batch 1) destroyer launched in 1974. She was involved in the Falklands and Gulf Wars and participated in the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. She was decommissioned in 2005, and sold for scrap.
- HMS Cardiff will be a Type 26 frigate.
The ships' motto is "Agris in cardine rerum" which translates as "Keen in emergency".

gollark: Vowels are ignored when comparing symbol names. The float type is replaced with a ratio of two decimals. Macros but they require you to rewrite the block of code they're used in as lisp syntax. JSON literals.
gollark: Maybe… even weaker types? Integer types with crazier names and also u24s and stuff for some reason? Do operator overloading to a stupid degree in the stdlib?
gollark: Idea: C-flat language, like C but stupider somehow.
gollark: Clearly what we need is C with better macros, so that "extensions" are no longer necessary.
