Five ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS ''Achates'' after Achates, a character in Roman mythology. A sixth was planned but never completed: * was a 13-gun ship launched in 1573, hulked in 1590 and sold in 1605. * was a 10-gun ''Cherokee'' class brig-sloop launched in 1808 and wrecked in 1810 off Guadeloupe. * was a 16-gun brig-sloop, originally the French ''Milan'', launched in 1807, that HMS ''Surveillante'' captured on 30 October 1809, and that was sold in 1818. * was an ''Acasta''-class destroyer launched in 1912 and sold in 1921. * was an A-class destroyer launched in 1929 and sunk in 1942 by the German cruiser ''Admiral Hipper''. *HMS ''Achates'' was to have been an ''Amphion''-class submarine. She was launched in 1945, but was never completed, and was sunk as a target in 1950. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Achates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
