Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Nabob'', for a Nabob, which is an Anglo-Indian term for a conspicuously wealthy man who made his fortune in the Orient, especially in the Indian subcontinent. *HMS ''Nabob'' was the East Indiaman ''Triton'', launched in 1766, which the Navy bought in 1777 for use as a storeship, converted to a hospital ship in 1780, and then sold in 1783.〔Winfield (2007), p.359.〕 * was the ex-USS ''Edisto'', an escort carrier launched in 1943 and provided to the United Kingdom on Lend-Lease. She was torpedoed in 1944, not repaired, and sold to the Netherlands for breaking up in 1947, resold in 1951, and finally broken up in Taiwan in 1977. ==References== ;Citations ;Bibliography * * 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 Nabob」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
