HMS Chanticleer

HMS Chanticleer

Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Chanticleer", possibly after the character Chanticleer in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale:

*HMS "Chanticleer" was a 10-gun "Cherokee" class brig-sloop launched in 1808. She was used as a survey ship from 1828, and was scheduled to make the second South America survey of 1831, but because she was in such poor condition the "Beagle" was selected instead. "Chanticleer" was used as a Customs Watch vessel from 1845. She was re-named WV5 in 1863 and was broken up in 1871.
*HMS "Chanticleer" was a "Camelion" class wooden screw sloop launched in 1861 and sold in 1878.
*HMS "Chanticleer" was a modified "Black Swan" class sloop launched in 1942. She was damaged beyond repair in 1943, and was subsequently renamed "Lusitania" and used as a base ship, before being broken up in 1945.
