Rename it bud the renaming myth is from all of the paperwork you have to do if you are a documented vessel....however just to be safe you might want to do the hokkie pookie dance and throw salt over your shoulder 3 times before putting it back in the water.

The Royal Navy has a long history. In the Days of Fighting Sail, they renamed a few of their own ships. They captured many enemy vessels - French, Dutch, Spanish. For many they kept the original name (sometimes simply anglicized), for others they changed the name. Browsing the list, which also gives the eventual fate of each ship, I didn't see any pattern of particularly bad luck if the name was changed.

 

It's an interesting list...

"BU" means "Broken Up".

 

Give 'er a proper christening when you change the name and you should be fine. ;):)

Judging by the drinks and snacks in the picture, I'd say the christening was a given.

Not that it's any of our business :blush:
