HMS Lysander

Three vessels of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS "Lysander", after Lysander, a military commander of ancient Sparta.

* The first "Lysander" was a 4-gun brig, listed from 1842 to 1844 but with little further information available.
* The second "Lysander" was a "Laforey"-class destroyer launched in 1913 as "Ulysses" but renamed a few weeks later, and sold in 1922.
* The third "Lysander" (J379) was an "Algerine"-class minesweeper launched in 1943 as HMCS "Hespeler", renamed "Cornflower" in 1956, and broken up 1957.
