HMS Phaeton/Devonshire
« on: Monday 05 December 05 19:59 UTC (UK) »
Has anyone any information about this?  It was the RN Stokers' training ship in Devonport early 1900s.

Also HMS DEVONSHIRE when Admiral Sir Percy Scott visited South Africa and South America?

Hi PennyX,

I tried a quick search on HMS Phaeton on Google and Ask and found details of two ships of that name.  One built in 1913, the other was much earlier.  There was a picture of HMS Phaeton in 1898 in Vancover on one of the sites that the search brought up.

Hope this helps.
