Nine ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Amazon, after the mythical female warriors.
Four classes of frigate of the Royal Navy have been named the Amazon class:
Sir John Henslow was Surveyor to the Navy a post he held jointly or solely from 1784 to 1806.
San Miguel was a 74-gun ship of the line of the Spanish Navy, launched in 1773.
Eight ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Siren, Syren or Sirene, after the Sirens of Greek mythology:
HMS Triumph was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Chatham Dockyard on 2 March 1697. She was renamed HMS Prince in 1714.
HMS Flying Fish was a 6-gun schooner taken into Royal Navy service in 1793. Flying Fish is notable for being the first ship in which William Beatty served as acting-surgeon from 1793 to 1794. Beatty was the naval surgeon who would go on to famously treat Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
The Leon Trionfante-class were a class of at least fourteen 70-gun third rate ships of the line built by the Venetian Arsenale from 1716 to 1785, in four different series with minor changes in the ships' length. In 1797, when Venice fell to the French, Napoleon captured several ships of the class, still unfinished in the Arsenal: he chose one of them, forced the shipbuilders to have it completed and added it to his fleet en route for Egypt. After Campoformio, the remaining vessels were destroyed by the French to avoid their capture by the Austrian Empire.
The San Carlo Borromeo-class ships of the line were a class of two 66-gun third rates built by the Venetian Arsenal from 1750 to 1793.
HMS Andromache was a 32-gun Amazon-class fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1781 and served for 29 years until she was broken up in 1811.
Vice-Admiral Alexander Fraser RN (1747–1829) was a late 18th century and early 19th century Royal Navy commander during the Napoleonic Wars. He was responsible for the landing parties in the Battle of Long Island, captured several privateers and took place in the Second Battle of Copenhagen.
Rear Admiral Sir Digby Dent (1739–1817) was a late 18th century and early 19th century Royal Navy commander.
HMS Deal Castle was a 20-gun Royal Navy ship built in 1756.
Sir Henry Peake (1753–1825) was a shipbuilder and designer to the Royal Navy who rose to be Surveyor of the Navy.
