HMS Lennox

HMS Lennox

Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Lennox", probably after the historic Scottish region of Lennox, and its associated Duchy and Earldom:

*HMS "Lennox" was a "Laforey" class destroyer, laid down as HMS "Portia", but renamed HMS "Lennox" in 1913, before being launched in 1914. She was sold in 1921.
*HMS "Lennox" was an "Algerine" class minesweeper. She was ordered in 1939, but the order was cancelled and transferred to another shipyard. "Lennox" was eventually launched in 1943, and was broken up in 1961.
