HMS Chub
Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Chub, or alternatively HMS Chubb, a name given to several types of fish, many in the family Cyprinidae:
- HMS Chub (1807) was a 4-gun Ballahoo-class schooner launched in 1807. She capsized in 1812.
- HMS Chubb was a schooner on the Great Lakes, the American USS Growler, which the British captured in 1813. The Americans recaptured her at the Battle of Lake Champlain and sold her in 1815.[1]
- HMS Chub (1855) was a Cheerful-class wooden screw gunboat launched in 1855 and broken up by 1869.
