6:33Now PlayingOn June 5, 1829, the British ship, HMS Pickle, a 5 gun schooner, captured an armed slave ship, the Voladora, off the coast of Cuba. This vessel was not the first British ship named “Pickle,” and in fact, it was the third British Navy ship with that name. Indeed, there have been 8 Royal Navy ships with that goofy name! With all the cool and bad ass sounding names you could give a warship, why settle for some goofy name? Well, there are a bunch of goofy named warships, and here we list 10 of them. What goofy named ships would you add to the list? (Our family boat was named “Bass-ette Hound” a play on chasing Bass and the fact that we had 2 Basset Hounds.)
