HMS Syren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
