Talk:HMS Collingwood (1882)

Named for an Admiral?
This article says in the lede that the Admiral class was named for British Naval Commanders, except for one. Perhaps, but HMS Camperdown has a lede,

HMS Camperdown was a Victorian era battleship of the Royal Navy, named after Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan of Camperdown.

Therefore, it would seem that that ship was named for the Admiral, and not for the naval battle of Camperdown which became part of Adam Duncan's title after the victory. In other words, the lede may be wrong. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've removed the stuff about Camperdown, it's irrelevant to Collingwood; and I've added an explanation of this ship being named after Collingwood of Trafalgar. Rcbutcher (talk) 17:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
