Please can someone decifer the names of these ships?

Hi please could some one help me decipher the ships my ancestor served on when in the Royal Marines?
I think the first is HMS Lightening which was renamed the Larne in 1832. The next one is the Conway. I and stuck on the 3rd M???don and crocodile, I am also stuck on the next one starting with a V (maybe vengeance?) . I think the next two are the Dauntless and the Pylades.

I agree with "Vengeance" and the rest. Can't make out the one beginning with M. Merrydon?

I think it reads as:-
Larne & Lightning
Mirmydon & Crocodile

H.M.S. Crocodile

Mirmydon is there. I didn't look for the rest.
The fourth H.M.S. Crocodile was wrecked in 1867.

Mythical origin. Reading one of the links reminded me that I'd come across the name in a story or drama.
