Crew usage and the pronunciation of ship names

Is the illustrated Laforey-class ship's name being pronounced correctly?

The pronunciation follows a family recollection, while crew usage can differ from textbook expectations. No definitive correction is established.

Clarke recalls using the pronunciation passed down in his family for a relative's ship. That recollection does not establish a definitive pronunciation for the illustrated Laforey-class vessel, whose spoken name is unclear. Sailors' usage can diverge from the pronunciation expected from a name's literary or classical origin. Crew tradition and formal etymology therefore need not give the same answer.
