*"Audacious" was an initial name of HMS "Eagle" (R05) aircraft carrier, of the "Audacious" class. The vessel was renamed HMS "Eagle" on 21 January 1946, two months before her launch on 19 March 1946.
* The most recent "Audacious" will be an "Astute" class nuclear submarine due to enter service around 2012.
