1 There is no ship named HMS Gambier. Given that the name of Adm Thomas Cochrane—who was the opponent in the legal battle—lives on not only as the Chilean 5 ships Almirante Cochrane but also as the name of a RN's armoured cruiser, it is surprising that there is not a single ship by that name.

On this day in 1756, Admiral James Gambier is born. Called "Dismal Jimmy" by the men who served under him for his piety, he served in the Glorious First of June (1794), the bombardment of Copenhagen (1807) and the Battle of the Basque Roads (1809) where he was accused of cowardice. #NavalHistory
