Talk:HMS Triumph

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The triumph was involved in operation Veritas in afghanistan? How do we use a submarine to attack a landlocked country?

[edit] The First Triumph

Wikipedia seems to have missed the first ship named Triumph. Perhaps it is because she was built before 1660, which was before the designation HMS was used. How do I create an appropriate entry for this ship without a HMS designation, but which probably should be included in the list of Triumph ships? Here is the information on the first Trumph:

The first Triumph of record was a 60-gun English galleon built about 1580. With a burden of 1000 or 1100 tons, she was the largest ship built in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Triumph served effectively as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Martin Frobisher during the battle of the Spanish Armada in 1588. She was a square-rigged galleon of four masts, including two lateen-rigged mizzenmasts. [1][ http://kentishknock.com/greatshi.shtml]

Wiki's article on Martin Frobisher mentions that he was knighted for his services on Triumph.Tvbanfield 18:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
