A St Vincent family connection may offer an ancestral command example

Has anyone commanded a ship named after one of their ancestors?

Possibly a member of the Sherbrooke family aboard HMS St Vincent, but the identification is uncertain.

A member of the Sherbrooke family may have commanded HMS St Vincent, creating a possible example of an officer commanding a ship named for an ancestor. The proposed connection is descent from the St Vincent line. The battleship's short 1909-1921 service span would have allowed only a small number of captains. The identification remains explicitly uncertain and provides a research lead requiring confirmation.
