Was HMS Renown ever called Mrs Fisher?

Fisher's attachment to Renown prompts a joke about calling the ship Mrs Fisher, though no evidence for the nickname is offered.

Question

Did anyone call HMS Renown Mrs Fisher because of Jacky Fisher's attachment to the ship?

Short answer

No example is identified. Fisher probably would have found the joke amusing.

Notes

Fisher liked Renown so much that the opening imagines him buying her as a private yacht after disposal, had he been wealthy enough. A viewer asks whether anyone called the ship Mrs Fisher. No example of that nickname appears. Fisher probably would have laughed at the joke, but the exchange provides no evidence that sailors or the Royal Navy used it.
