HMS Cottesmore

Three ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS "Cottesmore" after the Cottesmore hunt:

* The first "Cottesmore", launched in 1917, was a Hunt-class minesweeper. She served in World War I and was paid off and sold in 1919.
* The second "Cottesmore" (L78), launched in 1940, was a Hunt-class destroyer. She served in World War II, was sold to the Egyptian Navy in 1950 being renamed "Port Said", and served into the 1980s as a training ship.
* The third "Cottesmore" (M32), launched in 1982 and decommissioned in 2005, was a mine countermeasure vessel of another Hunt class. Prince Andrew, Duke of York commanded HMS Cottesmore from April 1993 until November 1994.
