HMS Caledonia


Five ships and three shore establishments of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Caledonia after the Latin name for Scotland:

In 1911, the name HMS Caledonia was proposed for the battleship HMS New Zealand (1904), which needed to be renamed to free the name New Zealand for use by a new battlecruiser, but the battleship was instead renamed HMS Zealandia.
