HMS Narborough

Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Narborough, after Rear-Admiral Sir John Narborough. A third was planned, but renamed shortly before being launched:

HMS Narborough was to have been a Talisman-class destroyer, originally built for the Turkish Navy but taken over as HMS Narborough, later renamed HMS Termagant and launched in 1915. She was sold in 1921.
HMS Narborough was an Admiralty M-class destroyer launched in 1916 and wrecked in 1918.
HMS Narborough was a Captain-class frigate launched in 1943 under lend-lease, and returned to the US Navy in 1946.
