No ships of the Royal Navy directly bore the name HMS ''Elphinstone''. However there were three ships named ''Elphinstone'' of the East India Company and the Royal Indian Marine which had close associations with the Royal Navy. They are named after Lord Elphinstone. *''Elphinstone'' was an 18-gun sloop. She was built by Hilhouse & Sons and launched in 1824. She operated out of London as an East Indiaman and participated with the Royal Navy in the New Zealand land wars. She was sold in 1862. *HMINS ''Elphinstone'' was originally launched in 1887 as the merchant vessel ''Hindoo''. She was purchased in the same year for use as a troopship by the Royal Indian Marine. She was on the sale list in 1919. *HMINS ''Elphinstone'' was an ''Anchusa'' class sloop built for the Royal Navy and launched as HMS ''Ceanothus''. In 1921 she was transferred to the Royal Indian Marine and renamed ''Elphinstone''. She was wrecked in 1919 off the Nicobar Islands. ==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 Elphinstone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
