Camperdown honours and the recurring Agincourt name

The later Camperdown roll links more ships and captains to the action and shows how the name Agincourt moved from a land battle into repeated Royal Navy use.

Notes

The honour roll continues through Triumph, Veteran, Monarch, Powerful, Director, Russell, Monmouth, Montagu, Adamant, and Agincourt. Director's commander was William Bligh, tying a familiar officer to a specific battle honour. Agincourt was a naval name inherited from a famous land battle. Its reuse for First World War battleship projects shows how one name can link medieval memory, an eighteenth-century ship of the line, and later capital-ship history.
