HMS Syren

Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Syren", an alternative spelling of the Sirens of Greek mythology:

*HMS "Syren" was a 24-gun sixth rate launched in 1779 and wrecked in 1781.
*HMS "Syren" was a 32-gun fifth rate launched in 1782, on harbour service from 1805 and broken up in 1822.
*HMS "Syren" was a training tender, purchased in 1878 and attached to HMS "Britannia". She was sold in 1912.
*HMS "Syren" was a "Myrmidon" class destroyer launched in 1900 and sold in 1920.

There was also HMS "Syeren", a Danish 74-gun fourth rate captured in 1807. She was converted to harbour service in 1809, sold in 1814 but retained and sold again in 1815.
