HMS Grenville

Four Royal Navy ships have been named HMS "Grenville". Vice Admiral Sir Richard Grenville was an Elizabethan sailor, explorer, and soldier:

* "Grenville", a destroyer leader launched on 17 June 1916 and sold in December 1931.
* "Grenville", a "G"-class destroyer launched on 15 August 1935 and sunk 19 January 1940.
* "Grenville", a "U" class destroyer, launched 12 October 1942, and disposed of in 1979.

The Royal Canadian Navy also operated a fishery protection vessel, HMCS "Grenville", launched in Toronto in 1915.
